Animal Ecology

Animal ecology is the study of the interactions between animals and their physical and biological environments. It investigates how changes to an animal’s habitat affects their ability to survive and reproduce. Animal ecology is important for understanding many conservation issues, such as the impact of human activities on local and global ecosystems. It is also essential for developing strategies to protect vulnerable species and their habitats. Animal ecology is an important tool for managing wildlife populations, helping to maximise their potential for survival and growth. It can be used to inform decisions about the conservation of specific species or ecosystems, as well as to inform land-use planning and resource management.
