Social Ecology and Environmental Movements: Challenges and Issues in a Global Context

A social ecology as a holistic vision, seeks to relate all phenomena to the large direction of evolution and emergence in the universe as a whole. In the deepest and most authentic sense, a social ecology is the awaking earth community reflecting on itself, uncovering its history, exploring its present predicament, and contemplating its future. Socio ecology calls upon us to see that nature and society are interlinked by evolution into one nature. That is to say people create an environment that is suitable for their mode of existence.
