Scope note

  • While often used interchangeably, "ecological protection" and "environmental protection" have distinct focuses. Environmental protection generally refers to a broader approach encompassing the protection of the environment as a whole, including its physical and biological components, from harmful human activities. Ecological protection, on the other hand, is more specifically focused on the protection of ecological systems, including the interactions between living organisms and their environment. (en)
