What is meant by ecological consciousness, and what is its significance for the development of modern human society?

Under “ecological consciousness” is traditionally understood as a set of ecological ideas about the relationships in the “man-nature” system and in nature itself, the existing relationship to nature, as well as the appropriate strategies and technologies for interacting with it. This is the development of the noosphere, or the sphere of reason; the sphere of interaction between society and nature, within the boundaries of which reasonable human activity becomes a determining factor in development. Meaning: the preservation of humanity and its development in harmony with nature.
