| Sumario: | The article focuses on Latinx Catholic environmentalism as explored in Amanda J. Baugh’s *Falling in Love with Nature*, highlighting how Latinx communities integrate religious, racial, and ecological experiences into environmental practices often overlooked by mainstream movements. Central to this is "Abuelita environmentalism," a form of embodied, intergenerational ecological knowledge rooted in daily acts of care and resistance shaped by intersections of race, gender, class, and migration. The work critically examines the tensions within Catholic environmental frameworks, which both offer resources for environmental justice and risk perpetuating colonial and patriarchal structures. It also situates Latinx environmentalism within broader histories of environmental racism and labor activism, emphasizing the need for intersectional, community-centered research and policy approaches that recognize diverse Latinx environmental epistemologies and agency.
