Intro to Environmental Science
Ecocentrism is an environmental ethic that places intrinsic value on all living organisms and their natural environment, emphasizing the interconnectedness of ecosystems. It challenges anthropocentrism, which views human beings as the most significant entities in the universe, by promoting the idea that nature has its own worth beyond its utility to humans. This perspective encourages a holistic approach to environmental decision-making and ethics, considering the broader impacts on ecosystems.
