Deep ecology places humans as a part of the global ecosystem that is equal to other aspects of the ecosystem rather than holding them higher than other species. Its principles state that it is necessary to preserve wild nature, control human population and ensure a simple life for humans. Deep ecology advocates believe that the world does not exist as a resource that can be freely oppressed by humans, rather it focuses on the idea that humanity has caused nature to fade away and become less available within our society. The integrity of deep ecology holds that a whole system is superior to any part of it, it also strives to conclude that when humans annihilate other species in the ecosystem, the ecosystem will become imbalanced. The ecosystem needs all species and humans to work together. I intend to address the question of whether deep ecology should be the new framework for guiding human actions. Currently, deep ecology has been described as a radical political and philosophical branch of environmentalism. It is characterized by hatred or contempt for humanity. Deep ecology portrays humanity as a pathological infestation on the earth. I predict that through the academic research I conduct, it will become clear whether deep ecology is correct in their claims about humanity. To fully address this question, I will endeavor to define what deep ecology is and how it can be seen as a radical political and philosophical branch of environmentalism. From here, I will address different views from other ecologists on the effect of humans on nature and how these ideas relate to or refute the ideas of deep ecology. I am concerned to see how my view on nature... middle of paper... thins out his manuscript Deep Ecology, (which he dedicated to Gary Snyder), that the answer to realization lies in the hands of Ecology Profound and its principles. The most crucial element of Deep Ecology is understanding that it “is emerging as a way to develop a new balance and harmony among individuals, communities, and all of Nature” (Devall 7); furthermore, coinciding with the statement indicated previously, being able to consider man as an essential part of nature and the ecosystem. To “cultivate [our] ecological consciousness” (Devall 8), we must “work on ourselves” through the process of “learning to appreciate silence and solitude and rediscover listening” (Devall 8). As human beings, we must be able to listen to what the earth now requires of us. Human beings have become so absorbed in their activities that the needs of the earth have been ignored.
