All about Ecology

What is Ecology?

Ecology is, for me, to understand how we interact with the world around us. Ecology is about appreciating how forests, animals, humans, bacteria, the air, the water, the sun, the rocks are constantly interacting with each other. From those interactions life is possible. In formal terms, Ecology is the study of how living organisms interact with each other and with their environment.

We are ecology. Everyday we are interacting with other humans, with animals, with plants, with the air, with water, with the sun, with the moon, with the soil. These interactions are taking place every day, every second of our lives. Everyday we need to breathe. Everyday the sun rises and sets. Everyday we hope to eat and we go to work to be able to get that food. And that food exists thanks to the plants and animals of this beautiful world.

Understanding all of these interactions and how life is possible, that is Ecology.
