That an organism lives is how to communicate with something. What is important there is rather to use information in environment, or in some cases, to force its use, than to communicate it by media. It seems that, by revaluating information as such, not as tools for limited communications, we can present various possibilities to contemporary information society. In this paper, we pick up "information" in ecological approaches as a new form of "information". And we compare it to "information" in autopoiesis and in biosemitics, to which are often referred each other. In doing so, we focus on the aspect of "information" in ecological approaches which is not noticed well and challenge a new development of ecological approach.
