I'm looking for books where the society has a healthy ecological relationship to its world — that doesn't have to be the main focus of the book, background to a completely other story would be good. Something like the vibe of Martha Wells's Raksura books, where there's a vast and varied world thinly speckled with ruins of civilizations that rose and disappeared, and the Raksura are predators who keep moving their hunting grounds so as not to deplete their prey and sometimes their population expands to a new colony in a different part of the forest, sometimes a colony is abandoned. The world in those books feels roomy in space and time and the Raksura aren't conquering it in the least.
I know Becky Chambers's Monk and Robot books are set in a post-industrial utopia. I have a feeling Ursula K. Le Guin might've written something of the sort?
