Abstract

The impact of natural and human-altered ecosystems on organisms, species, and communities is described by environmental biology. It explores the interconnections among biology, ecology, evolution, environmental science, and conservation. It is a thriving field that is in dire need of enthusiastic, passionate, and well-trained professionals. Environmental biologists focus on the biology of ecosystems and environmental processes, causes and consequences of environmental change, and how environmental change impacts life on earth.

Keywords
