Eco-semiotics

Eco-semiotics is the study of how signs and meanings interact within ecological contexts. It examines the relationships between the environment, organisms, and the signs (symbols, signals, or behaviors) that convey information about these interactions. For example, it explores how animals use signals to communicate, how plants may attract pollinators, or how human culture represents nature. By understanding these connections, eco-semiotics helps us appreciate the complexity of ecosystems and the role of communication in maintaining ecological balance, ultimately informing our relationship with the natural world.
