Getting close to nature fills me and heals me. Reading texts in environmental humanities makes me understand where this love for the more-than-human world comes from: I am part of the living and sentient planet. Doing ecocritical research means discovering myself as a human and an animal being. At the same time, I trust in the power of words, which serve to reorient values and perspectives, to question and reconstruct the concept of humanity and, to be ethical towards all more-than-human beings.
