The High Cost of Ecological Illiteracy

by: Robert C. Stebbins

In this chapter, the author considers three major educational impediments that must be remedied to get us to a harmonious relationship with nature. They are
(1) isolation of ecology from mainstream education,
(2) attitudes of domination or indifference toward nature, and
(3) overpopulation that results in increased strife, warfare, and environmental decline.
