Chapter Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to:
Understand why environmental problems are complex and
interrelated.
Realize that environmental problems involve social, ethical,
political, and economic issues, not just scientific issues.
Understand that acceptable solutions to environmental problems
are not often easy to achieve.
Understand that all organisms have an impact on their
surroundings.
Understand what is meant by an ecosystem approach to
environmental problem solving.
Recognize that different geographic regions have somewhat
different environmental problems, but the process for resolving them
is the same and involves compromise.

An Ecosystem Approach
called ecosystem.
A ecosystem is a region in which the organisms and
the physical environment form an interacting unit.
Large ecosystems always include smaller ones.
Ecosystems sometimes have fairly discrete boundaries.
An ecosystem approach requires a look at the way
natural world is organized.
