Rivers are flowing freshwater habitats that connect landscapes from mountains to seas. Shaped by current, sediment, and seasonal water levels, rivers create dynamic environments that change along their course from headwaters to floodplains and deltas.River habitats support a wide range of wildlife, including fish, amphibians, insects, birds, and mammals. They play a vital role in transporting nutrients, shaping ecosystems, and providing migration routes and breeding grounds for many species.
