In population biology, a "refugium" (plural: refugia) refers to a habitat or environment that provides a safe haven for certain species, allowing them to survive during periods of adverse conditions, such as climate change, natural disasters, or habitat destruction. Refugia play a crucial role in the conservation of biodiversity, as they can help preserve populations of species that might otherwise become extinct due to unfavorable environmental factors.
