'''Eco-terrorism''' refers to the use of [[terrorist]] tactics in order to achieve the political goals of [[environmentalism]], examples of this would be using [[violence]] to intimidate [[governments]], [[business]]es or even [[civilian]]s and force them to support environmental causes.
<blockquote>"It remains what we would probably consider the No. 1 domestic terrorism threat, because they have successfully continued to conduct different types of attacks in and around the country," [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,343768,00.html FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko]</blockquote>
Examples of eco-terrorism include attacking, threatening or commit other [[criminal]] acts against targets such as whaling ships, animal-testing laboratories, meat-processing facilities, logging camps, etc.
Sometimes eco-terrorist acts damage the environment they pretend to maintain, for example, animals released from facilities into urban settings have been trampled by cars or otherwise died.
Eco-terrorism must not be confused with [[Environmental Terrorism]].
