Cultural ecology is a field of study that examines the ways in which culture and environment interact and influence each other. It looks at how societies adapt to and shape their environment based on their cultural beliefs, practices, and knowledge. This interdisciplinary approach often examines how human societies make use of natural resources and how these interactions impact the cultural practices and systems of those societies.

Cultural ecology is a study of the way humans are able to adapt to their physical and social environments. A person who studies this adaptation is a cultural ecologist.
