This document discusses the scope of ecology, including applied ecology, forestry, rangeland management, fish farming, and wildlife management. Applied ecology involves understanding ecosystem needs, problems, and solutions to aid conservation efforts. Forestry is important for resources, habitat, and environmental benefits. Rangeland management maintains grasslands, soil, and acts as a natural mulch. Fish farming provides food and nutrition to meet the increasing demand for meat. Wildlife management is necessary to protect threatened and endangered species from extinction and maintain ecosystem balance.
