	Biotechnology for the environment
	Biotechnology is a tool that is being used (or is being researched and developed for use) in the environment to: assist with controlling pest animals and plants protect and preserve endangered species by storing DNA samples for potential future use clean up oil spills remove excess nutrients from the soil and water leach metals out of the soil for cleaner mining detect landmines clean up arsenic and heavy metal contamination
