landscape literacy

Landscape literacy is the ability to understand and interpret the physical features of our environment, including natural and man-made landforms, ecosystems, and how they interact. It involves recognizing the connections between landscapes, human activity, and ecological health, enabling people to appreciate, protect, and thoughtfully engage with their surroundings. This knowledge helps in making informed decisions about land use, conservation, and sustainability, fostering a deeper respect for the environments that shape our communities and quality of life.
