Conservation of Environment
Ecology helps us to understand how our actions affect the environment. It shows the individuals the extent of damage we cause to the environment.
Lack of understanding of ecology has led to the degradation of land and the environment. It has also led to the extinction and endangerment of certain species. For eg., dinosaurs, white shark, mammoths, etc. Thus the study of the environment and organisms helps us to protect them from any damage and danger.
Resource Allocation
With the knowledge of ecology, we are able to know which resources are necessary for the survival of different organisms. Lack of ecological knowledge has led to scarcity and deprivation of these resources, leading to competition.
Energy Conservation
All organisms require energy for their growth and development. Lack of ecological understanding leads to the over-exploitation of energy resources such as light, nutrition, and radiation, leading to its depletion.
Proper knowledge of ecological requirements prevents the unnecessary wastage of energy resources, thereby, conserving energy for future purposes.
Eco-Friendliness
Ecology encourages harmonious living within the species and the adoption of a lifestyle that protects the ecology of life.
Examples of Ecology
Following are a few examples of ecology:
Human Ecology
It focuses on the relationship between humans and the environment. It emphasizes the impact human beings have on the environment and gives knowledge on how we can improve ourselves for the betterment of humans and the environment.
Niche Construction
It deals with the study of how organisms alter the environment for the benefit of themselves and other living beings. For eg, termites create a 6 feet tall mound and at the same time feed and protect their entire population.
