Under the influence of climatic and anthropogenic factors, ecosystem changes occur, leading to serious biological threats, which are accompanied by a violation of life cycles of various organisms, invasion of alien species and animal migrations, including the discharge of circulation of species in natural foci of diseases, which, in turn, creates Unforeseen risks for human vital activity.
A large amount of toxic compounds (both organic and inorganic nature) accumulates in ecosystems. The cycle of substances is also disturbed, which leads to a change in the habitat, including a person.
The Council consists of the "Water Ecosystem" sections, "Ground Ecosystems", "Mathematical Modeling", "Industrial Ecology", "Ecology of Cities". The number and directions of the activities of sections can be adjusted depending on the tasks that are within the competence of the Council's activities.
