Natural history is the scientific study of the natural world, including plants, animals, and other organisms. It encompasses a wide range of topics such as ecology, geology, paleontology, and evolutionary biology. It also includes the study of human cultures and their interactions with nature. Natural historians use a variety of methods to collect data on species and ecosystems in order to better understand how they interact with each other. This data is then used to inform conservation efforts and management decisions. By studying natural history we can gain a better understanding of our planet's biodiversity as well as how humans are impacting it.
