Overview:

Human ecology is the study of how humans interact with their environment and the effects of these interactions on both human societies and the natural world. It explores the relationships between people and their surroundings, including the resources we depend on, the ecosystems we impact, and the sustainability challenges we face. The field of human ecology looks at factors like population growth, urbanization, resource consumption, environmental degradation, and climate change, while also considering social, cultural, and economic influences on human behavior. Understanding human ecology helps us identify ways to create more sustainable communities and mitigate the negative impacts of human activity on the planet. please note that this is a two week module
