What is Ecology?

ECOLOGY is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their natural environment. We study ecology to have a better understanding of our surroundings and how we fit in. By understanding the interrelationships that exist, we can make educated decisions about our actions that might impact our ecosystem. "Man does not weave this web of life. He is merely a strand of it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself." - Chief Seattle (1854)
