My interest in ecology had been growing in recent years, but it was the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic that radically changed my attitude. Not only because it was a warning of catastrophes to come, but also because the confinement revealed to me how important nature is to me. I also realised that in addition to my ecological commitment in my personal life, I wanted to address the issue in my professional life. Since then, I have been teaching ecology in my classes and researching ecocritical issues.
