"Ecological human" refers to the concept of humans as part of, and
interacting with, the natural environment. It encompasses the study of how
humans are influenced by their surroundings and how they, in turn, impact
the environment. This field, often called human ecology, draws from various
disciplines like biology, sociology, and anthropology to understand these
complex relationships.
Human ecology is an interdisciplinary field that explores the dynamic
relationships between humans and their environment. It examines how humans
interact with the physical, biological, cultural, and social aspects of
their surroundings, and how these interactions shape both human populations
and the environment. Human ecology focuses on understanding the reciprocal
relationships between humans and their environment. This includes how
humans adapt to their environment, how they modify it, and how these
actions affect ecosystems and human well-being. It integrates knowledge
from various fields like biology, sociology, anthropology, geography, and
economics to provide a comprehensive understanding of human-environment
interactions. Human ecology also addresses issues of sustainability,
exploring how human activities can be managed to ensure the long-term
health and resilience of both human populations and the environment. It
recognizes that human behavior and social structures play a crucial role in
shaping environmental impacts, including cultural beliefs, economic
systems, and political institutions.
Studying the spatial distribution of human populations in cities
and how urban environments affect human health and well-being.
Cultural Ecology: Examining how cultural practices influence human
adaptation to different environments and how these practices shape
ecosystems.
Environmental Impacts of Human Activities: Analyzing the consequences of
human actions, such as deforestation, pollution, and resource extraction,
on ecosystems and biodiversity.
Sustainability Science: Exploring how human societies can achieve
sustainable development by balancing human needs with environmental
conservation.
Understanding Human-Environment Interactions: It provides a framework for
understanding the complex interplay between humans and their environment,
which is crucial for addressing environmental challenges.
Informing Policy and Management: Human ecological research can inform
policies and management strategies aimed at promoting sustainable
development and environmental conservation.
Promoting Environmental Stewardship: By raising awareness about the
interconnectedness of humans and the environment, it can foster a sense of
responsibility for environmental protection.
In essence, "ecological humans" highlights the idea that humans are not
separate from nature but rather an integral part of it, with both the
capacity to significantly impact and be impacted by their environment. IF
SO, WHY HUMAN ALONE MUST TAKE CARE OF NAATURE AND WHY NOT NATURE NATURALLY?
BOTH ARE SPECIE WITH THE LIFE.
The New Human Ecology
It is the time to talk about the joy of change. We are creating hope out of
the goodness we find within ourselves and driven by the innate value of all
species and ecosystems. They surround us and cheer us on invisibly and
silently. We have learned about the importance and difficulty of protecting
ecosystems. While we should celebrate our successes, there are two reasons
we are not winning the struggle: Not enough of us are engaged in preventing
the harm we are doing to Earth, and we have not agreed on universal
principles and methods to achieve equally universal goals like the Seven
Results. We can change that.
The premise behind the new human ecology and its Seven Results is simple:
Life needs from us not one new behavior, but many. A single toxic element
in a stream can kill all life. If one of the Seven Results is missing, the
others will be ineffective. If we add 2.3 billion more people to Earth in
38 years, we will continue to lose ecosystems at an accelerating rate;
billions of people already here will live in poverty forever.
The Seven Results are the goals of the new human ecology. We change our
behaviors to create them. For most of us:
The first fast track to the Seven Results is created when we change what we
consume, from the organic grains we choose to the hair products we buy. We
stop eating meat, eggs, and dairy, and discover the thousands of plant
species to eat. We stop buying SUVs. We choose smaller homes and change how
we heat and cool them. We stop buying leather shoes and leather car
interiors. We boycott businesses that imprison orca whales.
The second fast track is to stop making babies. One child at most can be
enough for each family. We must reduce our populations now; slowing or
leveling off population growth is not a sustainable, humane, and biocentric
option.
The third fast track is our love, empathy, and compassion. It will deliver
us to social and economic justice as it will to species' rights. Do not
underestimate its power to sustain us as we learn how to change our human
ecology. We will wake up to the needs of impoverished people and invest in
their desire to be in control of their lives.
That is the abbreviated way we create hope.
The Seven Results Revisited
In chapter 1, I described the Seven Results we must create if we are to
thrive ecologically and morally as a species. Here they are revisited:
Healthy, intact ecosystems that dominate global landscapes and seascapes
and require little to no human intervention
A vegan, organic, and humane consumer lifestyle oriented to sustainable
efficiencies and relationships
Social and economic justice for all with transparency in public and
corporate institutions
An immediate, negative population growth based on natural attrition
Economic systems that are ecologically sustainable and restorative, enable
social and economic justice, moral, humane, and operate within the new
human ecology
An increase in empathy, love, and compassion toward all beings and
ecosystems
Appropriate, sustainable, and equitable consumption of goods and services
All Seven Results are required to create the new human ecology.

Each of the Seven Results has a synergistic effect on the other six. They
feed and strengthen one another to create a solid new human ecology. Moving
to a vegan ecosystem niche and steeply reducing human populations may feel
like radical steps, but consider how radically unsustainable and harmful we
are living today. The Seven Results signal a de-radicalization of our
current human ecology. They are direct and pragmatic goals. Life will be
better for us because it will be better for all species.
Getting agreement on the details of each of the Seven Results will be a
challenge. Vested economic interests and powerful institutions are, like
us, innately resistant to cultural and personal change. Social and economic
justice, one of the Seven Results, sounds good, but there will be vivid
disagreement about how we achieve it. The bigger the change, and this is
big, the more we will tend to avoid it and find reasons to reject anything
outside of our comfort zones, worldviews, and ideologies. We are strong
enough to do this.
We are walking away from the carnist, morally inept, current human ecology
because it leads directly to a future none will be able to bear, a future
no good soul would choose. If we make the right choices, we may be able to
create an environmentally sustainable and humane future, but only if there
is a consensus that there exist some universal human values and behaviors
that are adaptable to ecosystems on the scale Earth needs.
The Seven Results are purposefully and by necessity broad. Yet they assume
that specific human behaviors will be needed to produce them. How we
achieve each of the Seven Results will be a creative process. Those few
billions of us who have access to wealth and resources have the greatest
ability and responsibility to implement the Seven Results immediately. That
does not exclude what can be done in the presence of poverty. For all of
us, rich and poor, this is our species' moment, our era.
