Ecology is an interdisciplinary field that examines the relationships between living systems and their environments. It is a spiritual, scientific, and social field of study that seeks to understand the impacts that human activity has on the natural world, as well as the essential role that those living systems play in sustaining the ecosystems they inhabit. At its core, ecology is an invitation to view the world through a holistic lens, recognizing the sacred balance of interconnectedness between all living things.
