We dig deep into environmental problems from three distinct perspectives: ethnoecology, ecological restoration and political ecology.

• Ethnoecology is the study of interactions between people and the ecosystems they inhabit.
• Political ecology is an interdisciplinary inquiry into the political and economic principles controlling the relations of human beings to each other and to the environment. Put more simply, it explores the politics and policy necessary in a world where ecology matters.
• Ecological restoration is repairing damage we've done to ecosystems.
