Abstract
The human role in the transformation of nature and the impacts of the significant changes that have occurred over time have been accompanied by an increasing awareness of ecology and bioethics in human development. It is important to discuss the environment and its variability in several narratives from the perspective of human ecology. Human ecology examines anthropic relationship with the surrounding environment to describe and discuss complex problems, such as global warming, decreasing biodiversity, large-scale deforestation and human ethical bias. This study presents a reflexive analysis of the bioethical context from the human ecology perspective. The study’s purpose is to establish an eco-ethical conscience that enables us to rethink the future of our species and reaffirms the relevance of ethical, social and environmental values in pursuing the global common good.
