Ecology

What is it ecology?



Ecology is a branch of biology which

is focused on the examination of living
organisms in the natural environment.
Ecologists look at how organisms
interact with the environment and each
other, and they study the complex and
interconnected systems which influence
life on Earth.



Although it includes the study of
environmental problems such as
pollution, the science of ecology
mainly involves research
on the natural world from many
viewpoints, using many techniques.



An understanding of ecology is essential
for the survival of the human species. Our
populations are increasing rapidly, all
around the world, and we are in grave
danger of outstripping the earth’s ability
to supply the resources that we need
for our long-term survival.
