What is a "vacation"?

A vacation is a scheduled break from regular school or work activities, often lasting for a few days or weeks. It provides individuals with the opportunity to rest, travel, or engage in leisure activities. In the context of schools, vacations typically occur during holidays or between academic terms, such as summer vacation, winter break, or spring break. Vacations offer a chance to recharge and take a break from the usual routine, promoting relaxation and personal well-being.

What is "wildlife"?

Wildlife refers to all living organisms that are not domesticated and exist in their natural habitat, including but not limited to animals, plants, and microorganisms. It includes a diverse range of species that inhabit different ecosystems, such as forests, deserts, oceans, rivers, and grasslands. Wildlife plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the planet and provides various benefits, such as pollination, nutrient cycling, pest control, and food production. Unfortunately, due to human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, hunting, and climate change, many wildlife populations are threatened or endangered, making their conservation and protection crucial for the long-term health of the planet.
