 Ecology is not, as commonly understood, the study of Nature, but, the study of human being’s relationship with its environment. In other words, ecology and Nature cannot be thought independently from the human beings who depend on it.  Since we cannot completely separate ourselves from our world, there can be no objective science of Nature.  Rather we need to acknowledge and admit that Nature and ecology are social constructs and that any concern we have toward preserving conserving or sustaining Nature can only be accomplished through social engagement. Ecology is not, as commonly understood, the study of Nature, but, the study of human being’s relationship with its environment.
