1 “The Nature of Ecology” Biological scientists often study/research adaptations that have evolved within particular species. That is, they focus upon the biological aspects alone. Think critically about what ecology means and describe within a few paragraphs how ecologists approach the study of living organisms.

1. Let's take a brief look at ecological footprints on the national level. This is important, because each nation has different environmental policies and cultures. Do a comparison of your home country with others around the world using the instructions below. Use this Footprint of Nations website: (http://data.footprintnetwork.org/#/) Use the interactive map showing average ecological footprints for various countries. I recommend you choose the map option showing Ecological Deficit/Reserve. Once you have selected a country, a graph will appear showing the ecological footprint and biocapacity/ natural resource capacity of your selection. What you are determining is how much natural resource capital a nation has vs. how much it is using. List those values in the chart for the most recent year given. Be careful here: Because this is international information (metric system), the units of measure are in hectares, not acres! You can use either measurement but if you use acres you will…
