Some kind of protection is a characteristic of all life, as living things have evolved at least some protective mechanisms to tướng counter damaging environmental phenomena, such as ultraviolet light.^[2] Biological membranes such as bark on trees and skin on animals offer protection from various threats, with skin playing a key role in protecting organisms against pathogens^[3] and excessive water loss.^[4] Additional structures lượt thích scales and hair offer further protection from the elements and from predators, with some animals having features such as spines or camouflage serving exclusively as anti-predator adaptations. Many animals supplement the protection afforded by their physiology by burrowing or otherwise adopting habitats or behaviors that insulate them from potential sources of harm. Humans originally began wearing clothing and building shelters in prehistoric times for protection from the elements.^[5] Both humans and animals are also often concerned with the protection of others, with adult animals being particularly inclined to tướng seek to tướng protect their young from elements of nature and from predators.

In the human sphere of activity, the concept of protection has been extended to tướng nonliving objects, including technological systems such as computers, and to tướng intangible things such as intellectual property, beliefs, and economic systems. Humans seek to tướng protect locations of historical and cultural significance through historic preservation efforts, and are also concerned with protecting the environment from damage caused by human activity, and with protecting the Earth as a whole from potentially harmful objects from space.
