Social Ecology is a way of looking at the natural world and how people fit into it. It was developed by Murray Bookchin and is based on the idea that our lives are closely connected to the natural environment, and that looking at nature can help us understand our own lives and societies. It teaches us that things like our culture, our environment, and our relationships with each other are deeply connected and interdependent – if one part is not doing well, the whole system can be affected. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting natural systems, and looking for ways to work with them rather than against them. Social ecology helps us learn to make better decisions about how to care for our planet and its people.
