Sustainability education has traditionally focused on human-centered approaches to ensure a sustainable future for humans. However, nonhuman beings, particularly plants and animals, have always been central to our lives, evoking wonder, curiosity, sensitivity, and awe. They are important in their own right and play a vital role in our ecosystems. In the book "Multispecies Thinking in the Classroom and Beyond: Teaching for a Sustainable Future," the contributors explore the importance of seeking a more inclusive, just, and hopeful future. They argue that everyday interactions with plants and animals can challenge our worldview and provide opportunities for growth and learning. The book emphasizes the importance of reciprocal relationships with plants and animals and offers practical strategies, approaches, and examples of how this can be implemented in various educational settings.
