What is ecological backlash?

Ecological backlash involves the counter-responses of pest populations or other biotic factors in the environment that diminish the effectiveness of pest management tactics. Many of these counter responses result from heavy mortality burdens imposed by the pest management tactics. Other responses arise from disruption of ecological processes or changes in resource levels of the biotic community. Ecological backlash mainly manifests in the form of resistance, resurgence, and replacement- the three "R" s of pest management awareness.

this simply means viewing problem from all angles,anticipating side effects. if doing so,we might succeed in solving one environmental problem but at the same time start another.

Ecological Backlash is the revenge of nature due to the man's activities such as:

+kaingin system

+illegal logging

+dumping of garbage

+improper waste disposal
