WikiProject Ecology

WikiProject Ecology is about ecological topics and improving Wikipedia's articles and coverage about Ecology.

Welcome to WikiProject Ecology, an interactive and collaborative Wikipedia project about ecological topics and improving Wikipedia's articles and coverage about Ecology.

Scope

WikiProject Ecology focuses on articles related to the study of ecosystems, species in natural environments and built environments.

 — For articles and categories about the natural environment and the effect of humans on the environment, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Environment.

Topics

• Category: Ecology
• Environment – Category: Environmental science

Purpose

1. The management of Wikipedia pages relating to ecology
2. Aid Wikipedia in becoming a useful and reliable source of information for these topics
3. Promotion of the availability of these topics on Wikipedia,
4. Encouragement of others to use and build pages on these topics
5. Promote an awareness of the natural environment and world
