The role of nature in society can be perceived in a variety of ways. One perspective is that nature can to influence societies actions and behaviours, another is the goods and services nature provides for humans, from improving mental well-being of humans, to providing resources such as water and timber for human use.

A society is a group of people who agree to live together and work together. The most important priority to this group is the survival of the individuals in the group. As societies change, the other goals, and the tactics used to accomplish the goal of survival, also change.

The Nature Society believes that nature teaches life's lessons in its own subtle ways and enables our youth to share their responsibilities in maintaining a healthy environment and to take steps to avoid environmental degradation in their individual capacity as well as in a group.
