ecological anthropology

Ecological anthropology is a field of study that examines how human societies interact with their environment. It explores how cultural practices, technologies, and social systems influence resource use, adaptation, and sustainability. By understanding these relationships, ecological anthropology reveals how humans shape and are shaped by their ecological contexts, helping us better grasp issues like environmental impact, resource management, and cultural resilience. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of human life and the natural world, often combining insights from biology, ecology, and anthropology to understand human-environment dynamics.
