1. ecological

   Ecology (from Ancient Greek οἶκος (oîkos) 'house', and -λογία (-logía) 'study of') is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment. Ecology considers organisms at the individual, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere level. Ecology overlaps with the closely related sciences of biogeography, evolutionary biology, genetics, ethology, and natural history. Ecology is a branch of biology, and it is not synonymous with environmentalism.

   Ecological refers to anything related to the science of ecology - the branch of biology which studies the interactions among organisms and their environment. It concerns systems, processes, patterns, and relationships in nature, dealing with how different elements in ecosystems interact, impact each other, and contribute to the overall health and functionality of the environment as a whole. Ecological can also refer to initiatives, principles or actions that consider and respect this balance and seek to minimize harm to the environment, often associated with sustainability and conservation efforts.
