It is shown that all simple ecological, i.e. population dynamical equations (unlimited exponential population growth (or decrease) dynamics, logistic or Verhulst equation, usual and generalized Lotka-Volterra equations) hold a symmetry, called $C_{E}PT$ symmetry. Namely, all simple ecological dynamical equations are invariant (symmetric) in respect to successive application of the time reversal transformation - $T$, space coordinates reversal or parity transformation - $P$, and predator-prey reversal transformation - $C_{E}$ that changes preys in the predators or pure (healthy) in the impure (fatal) environment, and vice versa. It is deeply conceptually analogous to remarkable $CPT$ symmetry of the fundamental physical dynamical equations. Further, it is shown that by more accurate, "microscopic" analysis, given $C_{E}PT$ symmetry becomes explicitly broken.
