The article provides an overview of promising areas of development, identifies the current problems of environmental biotechnology as a promising and developing area that has an impact on the environment and humans. Every year the anthropogenic influence of industry on the biosphere is becoming larger. Depletion of natural resources has become a serious threat to the environment and humans. The desire to improve the quality of life by using the latest technology has contributed to the actualization of such a branch of science as ecological biotechnology. The definition of its goals and objectives, described in this article, reveals the problems associated with the implementation of various methods to improve the environment. In this connection, the prospects of development of biotechnology not only as an applied science, but also as a scientific field, inseparably connected with the protection of human and animal health are considered.
