This article proposes new perspectives for thinking about the relationship between signs in ecosystemic relationships (between humans, non-human animals and the rest of the biosphere). An extension of the semiotic paradigm to other areas of semiotics, such as biosemiotics and ecosemiotics, allows us to broaden the perspective from an epistemological (and ontological) point of view, overcoming any bias of “semiotic anthropocentrism”. These conclusions have direct and indirect consequences in ethical terms by connecting theoretical issues with practical issues.
