THE IMPORTANCE OF ENGLISH ECOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

In the context of global environmental challenges, scientific research on environmental protection increasingly relies on international cooperation and access to global scientific knowledge. English has become the dominant language of environmental science, serving as the primary medium for academic publications, international conferences, and environmental policy documents. This article examines the importance of English ecological terminology in the scientific study of environmental problems and environmental protection. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives from environmental science, applied linguistics, and English for Specific Purposes (ESP), the study analyzes how mastery of ecological terminology in English enhances scientific literacy, research accuracy, and professional communication. Using a qualitative theoretical approach, the paper proposes an integrated framework for developing ecological terminological competence in English among students and researchers. The findings highlight that knowledge of English ecological terminology is essential for effective participation in global environmental discourse and for addressing contemporary ecological challenges.在全球环境挑战的背景下，环境保护领域的科学研究日益依赖国际合作与全球科学知识的获取。英语已成为环境科学的主导语言，是学术出版物、国际会议及环境政策文件的主要媒介。本文探讨了英语生态术语在环境问题科学研究与环境保护工作中的重要性。本研究借鉴环境科学、应用语言学及专门用途英语（English for Specific Purposes，ESP）的跨学科视角，分析了掌握英语生态术语对提升科学素养、研究精准度与专业沟通能力的作用。本研究采用定性理论研究方法，提出了一套面向学生与研究人员的英语生态术语能力培养整合框架。研究结果表明，英语生态术语知识对于有效参与全球环境议题讨论、应对当代生态挑战至关重要。
