Communities and Ecosystems: The Symbiosis of Socio-ecological Systems

Abstract

Wenkai Bao*

In the intricate dance of life on Earth, communities of people and ecosystems of nature are not isolated entities but interconnected components of a larger system known as socio-ecological systems. This symbiotic relationship forms the very fabric of our existence, shaping the way we live, interact with the environment, and ultimately, sustain ourselves on this planet. Understanding the delicate balance and interdependence between communities and ecosystems is not just an academic pursuit; it is essential for fostering sustainability, resilience, and harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.
