Society impacts ecology in a variety of ways, both positive and negative. On the positive side, society can help to protect and preserve ecosystems through environmental regulations, conservation efforts, and sustainable practices. For example, governments around the world have created national parks and protected areas to help protect biodiversity. On the negative side, human activities like deforestation, pollution, and overconsumption can have a negative impact on ecosystems. For example, the burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change and the destruction of habitats.
