Summary/Abstract: In the title „How many ecologies” there is a question concerning a phenomenon, which – for many years – we have witnessed and perhaps even caused, namely the appropriation of the term “ecology” by various scientific disciplines, organisations and individuals, which use it in an entirely different meaning from the original one. The term “ecology” was coined in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel to define the science of our home (gr. oikos), living organisms and their relations with the non-living (abiotic) and living (biotic) environment to which other organisms belong.
