Eco­log­i­cal art is a con­tem­po­rary art move­ment. Eco-con­scious artists respond to mod­ern envi­ron­men­tal threats, such as cli­mate change, with their art­works. How­ev­er, eco-art is not a new phe­nom­e­non. Abo­rig­i­nal Aus­tralians have cen­tered the envi­ron­ment in art­mak­ing for mil­len­nia. When pre­his­toric cli­mate change occurred, they respond­ed with rock paint­ings. We can under­stand this as ancient eco-art.
