What is Human Ecology?

Human Ecology is neither a discipline, nor

specialisation, though it has elements of both.
Human ecology is a way of being, above all,
an understanding of eco-values and
sustainable practice made real.

Who this is for:

 Students: final year students, graduates and postgraduates looking for a

fresh start
 Education providers: tutors and lecturers
 Educators: teachers and mentors and those seeking a career in human-
scale education

For those who want to know more

For many people, professionals and their

organisations, the work they do is accompanied by a
series of complex issues to overcome.
For those who understand flow, solutions are often
accompanied by an understanding of human ecology.
Human ecology is about the interaction of human
needs and our intuitive understanding of our environment: the built environment,
the natural environment and our interactions with each other.
