Native Species

Real World Example

Imagine trying to sort out which clothes in your wardrobe are genuinely yours and which were given to you by friends or acquired during sales. This is similar to identifying which species in a region are native because they arrived and established themselves through natural processes, rather than being introduced by humans. Just as your original clothes are those you've always had, native species are those that naturally belong to a region without human intervention, highlighting the importance of understanding origins in both closets and ecosystems.
