Exhibits on ecology
Here is where you will find exhibits about ecology. Ecology is a biological field of study that focuses on how living organisms interact with each other and with their environment.
Exhibits:
Ecosystems and Endangered Species -- As habitats are lost across the world, the number of endangered species increases; as a result, whole ecosystems are being destroyed. How do humans play a role in all this, and what will happen if these ecosystems continue to decline?
