Ecology is the study of how living organisms interact with eachother and their environments. Living organisms depend heavily on the delicate ecosystems. Because of this ecology links directly to OAE because outdoor adventure activities bring people into these delicate ecosystems, which can course negative effects on the living organisms. Therefore it’s extremely important to for people to lead and take part in OAE to learn about ecology and develop their understanding of the natural environment to be certain their doing the most to lesson their effects on the environment.

ecology is the study of how living organisms interact with one another and the environment around them. it is relevant to OAE because it develops into environmental stewardship which is personal responsibility and a want to protect the natural environment. it also gives a deeper understanding of the environment to all adventurers to be safe and well informed of what is around them

Ecology is the study of how living organisms interact with each other and with their environment. Plants, animals, people, soil, water, air, climate and microorganisms.
It matters to outdoor Adventure Education as you cannot fully understand outdoor education without understanding and respecting the environment in which you are in. E.g LEAVE NO TRACE
