DEEP ECOLOGY APPROACH TO THE SOLUTION OF ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS

39746

Destruction of ecological balance and damages to the environment due to human activities have drawn our attention to the nature. Solution of environmental problems initially followed an environment-protective approach. However, it has been observed that these approaches haven’t been able to solve the problems. In this process, deep ecological approach, which questions the interaction between nature and humans, has evolved. Deep ecology has expressed that the core of the ecological problems rests on human-based modern thinking system. In this context, deep ecology has suggested a new nature-based thinking system instead. This new thinking system can provide an important alternative to the modern world perspective.
