social-ecological networks

Social-ecological networks are ways to represent and analyze the complex relationships between people, communities, and natural environments. They use interconnected points (nodes) to show entities like individuals, organizations, or ecosystems, and lines (links) to show interactions such as cooperation, resource sharing, or influence. This approach helps us understand how human activities and ecological systems affect each other, enabling better decision-making for sustainability, conservation, and resource management. By visualizing these connections, we can see patterns, dependencies, and potential points for intervention to promote healthier social and ecological systems.
