Our ideas of ecology are based on our histories, and how it makes us now. Nature has turned into a generic category and is ‘acted’ upon. It has to be seen, appreciated, exploited, explored, imagined or ignored, but not necessarily lived. Akin to what patriarchy does to the figure of a woman, Nature is often put on a pedestal and admired from afar. Possibly, we could be caught up in the web of language itself, and what is signified as Nature.
