Practices

According to its [original formulation by Arne Naess][1] Deep Ecology is not intended to remain conceptual. At its heart are practices aimed at healing the separation we commonly perceive between ourselves and the natural world. We can identify a few important domains of practice. This page page is intended to provide an overview of these domains with internal and external links to further resources.

For an introduction to the philosophy underlying these practices, please visit our page:”what is deep ecology
