Ecological monitoring is a practice used by scientists, researchers, and environmental professionals to assess the health and stability of ecosystems. This process involves collecting data on various ecological factors such as biodiversity, species abundance, habitat conditions, and environmental changes over time. The goal of ecological monitoring is to gather information on the status of ecosystems, identify any changes or threats, and inform conservation and management efforts. By monitoring ecological parameters, researchers can track trends, predict future impacts, and make informed decisions to preserve and protect natural environments.
