Engineer Ecosystem Immune Systems

Design biological or technological immune systems for ecosystems that can detect and respond to ecological threats like invasive species, pollution, or disease outbreaks before they cause significant damage. These systems would continuously monitor ecosystem health, identify threats early, and deploy appropriate countermeasures automatically. The challenge involves creating sensitive detection systems, developing rapid response mechanisms, and ensuring interventions don't cause unintended ecological consequences. Applications include preventing biological invasions and stopping pollution events.
