Ecology and Environmental Science
Ecology is the study of how living organisms like plants, animals, and microbes interact with each other and their environment. Environmental Science examines these interactions within the broader context of Earth's systems, focusing on how natural processes and human activities impact air, water, land, and ecosystems. Together, they help us understand the health of our planet, the effects of pollution, climate change, and how to sustainably manage natural resources. This knowledge enables us to protect ecosystems, support biodiversity, and ensure a healthy environment for current and future generations.
