Glossary of ecology
This page is not for human environment or economics or ethics topics. It is for ecology, which is a science. A rule of thumb: if the article talks about the likely impact on humans, it's an environment topic, only the most global of which belong here. If it's an impact by humans, it does belong here. If it's about only one or a small or local group of species, it's a biology topic, only the most basic of which belong here.
This is so that those interested in the subject can monitor changes to the pages by clicking on Related Changes in the sidebar and on the bottom of the page.
