natural rights are rights the government protects, land, life, etc.
individual rights are rights the government is supposed to provide (but admittedly, does not) such as housing, food, etc.

Answer:

As a result, whereas natural rights (such as life, liberty, and property) are rights that government protects from infringement by others, human rights (such as “housing” and “leisure”) are often things that government is obligated to provide. Secondly, natural rights, being natural, do not change over time
