Significance of ECOLOGY
Ecology tells us that every natural thing in this planet has its own role no
matter how big or small in maintaining a balance of a healthy
environment for man and other organism to live in. The structural &
functional components of nature interact and are interdependent with
each other, thus their behavior/characteristics must be understood.
