Ecology represents the surrounding we live in, whereas ecological health is the care of our environment. In other words, it is the protection of the green environment around us. There is a part and parcel relation between human and ecology. Ecological health and human behavior is the study about the relationship of humans and their natural, social and built environments. Particularly, it refers the undisturbed natural space by human beings.
