The Coming Change in the Environmental Protection Paradigm

  • Chapter
Implementing Ecological Integrity

Part of the book series: Nato Science Series ((NAIV,volume 1))

Abstract

Human beings have long regarded nature as a hostile power, as both an unpredictable and alien force. Securing food and shelter was an arduous and indeed often dangerous task. More recently, with the growth in human population and the emergence of powerful technologies, we have started to regard nature as a material resource to be exploited for substantial gains. Exploiting nature was the main goal of military conquest and of industrial and commercial development.
