Question

  1. WHAT do you think is the most exciting breakthrough or discovery in ECOLOGY in the past 100 years and WHY do you think this discovery is so exciting? Note: the breakthrough must be somehow related to some field of ECOLOGY (such as population ecology, community ecology, ecosystem ecology, landscape ecology, behavioral ecology, physiological ecology, etc.), not just biology generally or environmental science (which is a different field than ecology!!). In addition, it should also be an ecological "discovery," not a technological "invention." WHO was/were the ecologist(s) who made these discoveries? Please cite your work

Explanation / Answer

Ecological "red line"- Pan Jiahua. The concept of red line focused on protection of ecology. It aims to construct a sound eco-civilization.

The document urged drawing a "red line" for ecological protection, implementing a system of paid use of resources and ecological compensation, and reforming the system for the protection and administration of ecological environment.

This breakthrough is very important because it focuses on how the human population is taking steps to save the ecology.
