An Ecological Approach to Planning and Conservation of Natural Resources
Think of an ecosystem! Your idea of what an ecosystem is will be like no one
else's. Because of this, the following is a collection of information and
resources that may help expand our understanding of ecosystems. Understanding
ecosystems gives us a new way of seeing our world, and our place in it. We used
to talk about "the environment" as if it were something out there that needed
our help. But understanding our ecosystem gives us perspective on where we fit
into the picture - how each thing in the ecosystem affects everything else. Like
a spider web each strand is interconnected and gives strength to the whole.
