native wildlife
Local wild creatures
Native wildlife refers to animal species that occur naturally in a particular region, having evolved or established there without human introduction.
The term distinguishes indigenous fauna from introduced or invasive species: The preserve protects native wildlife from habitat loss.
Conservation efforts often prioritize native wildlife over non-native populations that may disrupt ecosystems.
