ecologists

Ecologists are scientists who study how living things—such as plants, animals, and microorganisms—interact with each other and their environment. They explore how these relationships shape ecosystems, which are communities of organisms and their surroundings. Ecologists seek to understand the balance of nature, how species affect one another, and how environmental changes impact ecosystems. Their work helps inform conservation efforts, sustainability, and our overall understanding of life on Earth. Essentially, ecologists are detectives investigating the complex web of life and the natural processes that sustain it.
