Abstract
Key policy highlights
Our interview data of local actors in a Western society show that they endorse relational rather than dualistic or dichotomous worldviews when it comes to the relationship between humans and nature.
The interviewees see themselves as a part of nature, with human roles in nature.
They understand nature not primarily as an inventory of objects, but as an active force that shapes the environment together with human planning and design.
They value and protect natural and cultural elements in the landscape together.
We propose that such roots of relational thinking in Western worldviews could be a starting point for a broader relational turn in environmental policy, science, economy and other areas of formal Western thinking.
