@FaustSketcher Ecology was originally coined by Ernst Haeckel and defined in the way that Darwin and others before him referred to the polis and economy of nature. My previous post paraphrased definition of Haeckel's from a classical ecology textbook. Your argument that we understood what he meant with the video is false, because it is replicating the error of misunderstanding. Ecology is very important and so are definitions. The video is nice, but it is environmentalism.

"By ecology we mean the body of knowledge concerning the economy of nature--the investigation of the total relations of the animal both to its organic and to its organic environment; including, above all, its friendly and inimical relations with those animals and plants with which it comes directly or indirectly into contact--in a word, ecology is the study of all those complex relations referred to by Darwin as the conditions of the struggle for existence."

@FaustSketcher Actually, ecology is a complex science and it is more than a science. It is a science in the sense that scientists study the relations of life to the abiotic and biotic conditions that surround them. Is is also about the actual events that are taking place on the planet beyond the study. I am very skeptical of your claim that "we all understood". Most people score very low on their scientific understanding of things, let alone ecology. This video is not about ecology.

Ecology is not picking up litter and reducing polution. As an ecologist i can tell you its the study of animal and plant population how they interact and the factors that effect them. so basically the whole natural world. to reduce negative effects on this u need to reduce pollution etc

@FaustSketcher Regardless of everyone knowing ecology is a science or not (a pretty bold claim, statistically), it is important that the two are not confused for each other. Even with a heart-warming video such as this one, the caveat should be inserted. I enjoyed the video, but a lot of hassle would be saved to use the correct terminology.

Ecology, in its broadest definition, is the scientific study of organisms, environments, and their interactions. This video is about environmentalism, which is a philosophy that advocates the protection of environments. A person can be both (and often are), but please acknowledge that they are different.

Ecology is our present.
damn the people on the top comments need to get a life. We all know ecology is a science, but we all aswell understood what he meant with the video. ...otherwise you're pretty stupid honestly.
Nice video, you seem a nice person
