Ecology and Environmental Science

The Science of Our Environment

Ecology is the study of how living things interact with each other and their environment. Environmental science looks at how humans impact the planet and what we can do to protect it.

Ecosystems and Biodiversity

An ecosystem includes all living things in an area and their physical environment. Biodiversity is the variety of life in an ecosystem, which keeps it healthy and balanced.

Human Impact

Pollution, deforestation, and climate change are major challenges. Scientists study these problems and develop solutions like recycling, renewable energy, and conservation.

Why It Matters

Protecting the environment ensures clean air, water, and resources for future generations.

Examples

  • Planting trees to restore a forest after a wildfire.

  • Using solar panels to reduce pollution from electricity.
