释义 | ecological (once / 6307 pages) adj Anything ecological relates to the science of ecology, which is the study of how living things and the environment do their thing. If you're interested in issues like preserving rain forests, saving endangered species, and keeping drinking water safe, you're interested in ecological issues.

Just about anything people do has an ecological impact — for better or worse.
