Environmental Conservationist Organization (Earth-1600)

The Environment Conservational Organization (or E.C.O.) is an eco-terrorist organization aimed toward protecting the environment, as wells as animal and plant life, using advanced technology and weaponry to carry out their missions.

Overview
E.C.O. is an eco-terrorist group dedicated to the protection of the environment, animal life, and plant life, through technological means. Members of E.C.O. are equipped with advanced weaponry stolen from companies to carry out their missions for environmental protection.

Origin
E.C.O. was originally a subdivision of S.H.I.E.L.D. charged with studying biological events that could prove harmful or hazardous to human life. Their work involved collecting specimens of exotic origin and seeing if they could be useful in conflicts or harmful to the general populace. Upon learning S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hidden machinations in using their research to create weapons of mass destruction, the group defected from the agency to create their own organization to perserve and protect the environment from harm.
