The field of Religion and Ecology addresses some of the most complex challenges of our time. Established by the Religions of the World and Ecology conference series at Harvard University from 1996-1998, this new field retrieves, re-evaluates, and reconstructs narratives, practices, and worldviews that influence relationships between human society and the environment.
