Socio-ecological practice is a research area that focuses on understanding the complex interactions between social systems and ecosystems and developing strategies for sustainable and equitable management of resources. This interdisciplinary field combines ecological research with social science approaches to address pressing environmental and social issues, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and inequitable resource distribution. Socio-ecological practitioners work to bridge the gap between environmental science and policy, aiming to foster greater collaboration and communication between stakeholders in order to create more effective and just solutions to environmental challenges. This research area emphasizes the importance of considering the interconnectedness of social and ecological systems and the need for holistic approaches to sustainable development.
