Ecology as the Real Economy
“Ecology is the permanent economy” means nature is the foundation of human survival and prosperity.
Sustainable development is only possible when we protect and manage natural resources.
Ignoring nature's role in the economy risks long-term damage to both the environment and human well-being.
Human Disconnect from Nature
Over time, humans have become increasingly detached from nature due to civilization and technology.
Early humans used resources for survival; now, nations exploit nature for both current needs and future gains.
Unlike animals, humans overconsume and plan long-term exploitation, harming ecological balance.
Crisis of Overconsumption
Excessive human consumption is accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss.
We rely on nature to fix the damage we cause — this is a dangerous contradiction.
Using ecosystems as both resources and climate solutions without reducing exploitation worsens the crisis.
Reconnect and Rethink
Ecology must be viewed as essential to economic and social stability, not as a limit to growth.
The climate crisis is not just scientific — it’s a moral issue tied to our relationship with nature.
People must adopt sustainable lifestyles and reconnect emotionally with nature.
Conservation efforts should focus on rebuilding this bond to drive genuine change.
