Ecological impact research focuses on understanding the effects of human activities on the natural environment and the biodiversity of ecosystems. This field examines how factors such as pollution, deforestation, urbanization, and climate change can disrupt delicate ecological relationships and lead to negative effects on plant and animal species, as well as overall ecosystem health. Researchers in this area seek to assess and quantify these impacts, develop strategies for mitigating or reversing damage, and promote sustainable practices to protect the environment for future generations.
