This subject provides an introduction to holistic environmental practice in human services. It highlights the competing interests and discourses in the use of natural resources, revealing the impact of anthropogenic activity on the wellbeing of the human and non-human world. Loss of biodiversity, changes to the landscape and Earth's resources have produced an environmental crisis; one that demands new ways of living within the natural world. This subject presents the often marginalised `voices' and ways of knowing, including Indigenous Australian, other Indigenous, Global South and eco-feminist perspectives. The subject introduces students to the foundations and strategies of transformative, holistic eco-social practice.
