.eco is a proposed gTLD in ICANN's new gTLD program. At one time, there were multiple companies publicly interested in applying to manage a .eco TLD. The TLD is aimed at drawing attention to ecological causes, organizations, and other entities associating themselves with positive ecological developments.
One public applicant, Big Room Inc., has announced a partnership with Afilias for their back-end and technical needs, and also announced that they intend to apply for the TLD as a Community gTLD. They have been working with the World Wildlife Federation (WWF), Greenpeace, and Conservation International to demonstrate the requisite community support.[1]
