Humans and Nature: Time for a Conceptual Change The certain things really worked towards establishing the importance of the humannatural distinction and the need for a conceptual change. It instilled in me a sense that the earth is transforming in a way that our environment is much more rapidly changing than ever before. The ecological issues or a problem gives us an alarm bells in our mind for us to begin to care about ecological issues. In the state of nature describe by Darragh Humans exist within nature; as a part of it, not apart from it. This broad conception of property I will now defend this claim that makes it corresponding to nature that humans are exclusively apply ethical obligation. For instance, he could say humans are certainly unique in their capacities, but the same is true of every species that exist and humans are responsible for these changes. I will present my two arguments that, that the humans within nature are not totally responsible of taking their obligations towards nature. My first argument is that human exploitation of natural resources has altered food webs transformed ecosystems and destroyed of habitats of the wildlife. My second argument, that some humans are not responsible of nature since the consequences of ecological process triggered by these human behaviors that losses the extinction of the biodiversity and also the water and air have become polluted. Suggestion that we change our attitudes and behaviors to be more responsible enough in conserving and to sustain our nature is such us difficult to apply. However this response fails, because in a small gains have been made and we are seeing a shift towards more sustainable and responsible human activities, systematic conservation and environmental protection at the global protection scale remains politically and economically unpleasant. This describes some controversial contemporary environmental issues. It will argue that much polarized opinion stems that the idea that humans and human interest occupy a privileged within nature. Arguments accordingly, will not give definitive answers to the environmental challenges we face, but it will serve two important purposes. First of all, it will make sense in ecological and providing conceptual lens through which we can assess environmental questions with the perspective and humility they deserve. Secondly it will give us a powerful filter, allowing us to reject many arguments against conservation. I was thoroughly convinced that it is time for a conceptual change. It is clear that the root of environmental problem is a flawed, anthropocentric base.
