Nature

Nature refers to the physical world and the life forms that inhabit it, encompassing everything from landscapes, ecosystems, and climates to animals, plants, and minerals. It includes all biological and non-biological elements of the environment, functioning through natural processes and interactions. Nature is often characterized by its intrinsic beauty, complexity, and the interdependence of its components. The term can also imply a broader sense of the inherent qualities or properties of living organisms and the non-human world. In various contexts, “nature” can refer to the essence or fundamental characteristics of a thing, including human behavior and instincts. It contrasts with human-made environments and influences, highlighting the importance of preserving the natural world and understanding its systems.
