2. Environmental Ethics
• Environmental ethics is a discipline that studies the moral
relationship of human beings to and also the value and
moral status of the Environment and its non human-
contents.
• Environmental ethics believe that humans are a part of
society as well as other living creatures, which includes
plants and animals. These items are a very important part
of the world and are considered to be a functional part of
human life.

3. Why need to study Environmental Ethics?
To overcome the following questions.
1) What are the environment damages produced by the
present generation?
2) What acts must be give up to slow such damage?

4. Environmental Damage
1) Pollution:
i. Air pollution
ii. Water pollution
iii. Land pollution
2) Resource depletion:
i. Depletion of Species & Habits
ii. Depletion of Fossil fuels etc..

5. Branches of environmental ethics:
It is splitted into three different
schools of disciplines.
a. Anthropocentrism
b. Biocentrism
c. Ecocentrism

6. Anthropocentrism
A human based ethnic arguing that human possess
complete authority over decisions about the environment.

7. Biocentrism
It states: “extend the status of moral object from human
beings to all living things in nature.” ... All living organisms
pursue their own "good" in their own ways. Human beings are
not inherently superior to other living things.

8. Ecocentrism
A term used in ecological political philosophy to denote a
nature-centred, as opposed to human-centred, system of
values.

9. Relationship between Environmental Ethics and
Environmental Science:
• The relationship between environmental ethics and the
environmental sciences, however, is complex.
• For example, debates over whether ecologists and conservation biologists
should also be advocates for environmental protection — a role that goes
beyond the traditional profile of the "objective" scientist — have received
much attention in these fields.
• Likewise, we will see that issues such as the place of animal welfare
concerns in wildlife management, the valuation and control of non-native
species, and the adoption of a more interventionist approach to
conservation and ecological protection frequently divide environmental
scientists and conservationists.

10. Importance of Environmental Ethics
• Make us aware of indescriminate and destructive human
activities.
• Inculcate moral values towards nature and learn to
respect various life forms through environmental ethics.
• Concerned with the issues of responsible personal
conduct with respect to natural landscape, resources,
species and non-human organisms
• Conduct with respect to person is, of course, the direct
concern of modern philosophy.

11. The Ethical Values for Pollution Control
 Humans have no rights to reduce this richness &
diversity expect to satisfy vital needs.
The ideological changes is mainly that of appreciating life
quality, rather than to increase higher standard of living.
 We should recognize our moral duty to protect the welfare
not only human beings, but also of other non- human parts
of this system.
Usefulness of non-human world for human purposes.

12. Ethical Values for Conserving depletable resources
 Proper utilization of resources i.e. the people should
maintain Ecological balance.
We should adopt voluntary measures to conserve the
resources.
If we are to preserve enough scarce resources, so that
future generation can maintain their quality of life at a
satisfactory level.
