Ecological engineering

Ecological engineering is when people work with natural systems to help people and the environment. For example, if you want to protect a wetland (a place with a lot of water and plants) from being destroyed, you might create barriers like a fence or a wall. This will keep the wetland safe from people who might want to build something in the area. You might also add plants or animals to the wetland to help it become more healthy. Ecological engineers do this kind of work to help protect natural areas and also to make them better for people who live near them.
