Wikipedia

  1. ecological warfare

    Environmental terrorism consists of one or more unlawful or even hostile actions that harm or destroy environmental resources or deprive others of their use. It is different to environmental vandalism, which is a rather permitted but ethically disputed destruction of environment. More colloquially, the phrase is also used to label actions seen as the unnecessary or unjustified destruction of the environment for personal or corporate gain.

  1. ecological warfare

    Ecological warfare, also known as environmental warfare or eco-war, is a type of warfare that involves the use of ecological, environmental manipulations or destruction as a means to damage an adversary's economy, population morale, and/or military capabilities. It includes, but is not limited to, destructive practices such as poisoning water supplies, igniting forest fires, causing landslides, or introducing non-native, invasive species to devastate an area's ecosystem. These practices aim at severely disrupting or denying the enemy's access to and use of natural resources. It is generally considered to be an unethical form of warfare due to the widespread, long-lasting harmful effects it has on the environment and civilian populations.
