The Ecological Paradigm

The Ecological Paradigm views humans as part of a larger natural system, emphasizing that our well-being depends on healthy ecosystems. It recognizes that human actions—like pollution, deforestation, and resource use—can harm the environment and, in turn, threaten our security and quality of life. This perspective encourages sustainable practices that balance human needs with environmental health, promoting harmony between society and nature for long-term resilience and sustainability.
