 Developmentalism
Developmentalism in relation to sustainable
development is an attempt to cope with
environmental degradation which advocates in
introducing greener technologies and conserving
biodiversity.

H 0
Green Tech
 Green tech—an abbreviation of "green technology"
 Green tech refers to a type of technology that is
considered environmentally friendly based on its
production process or its supply chain.
 Can also refer to clean energy production, the use of
alternative fuels, and technologies that are less
harmful to the environment than fossil fuels.
 It describes the use of technology and science to
reduce human impacts on the natural environment.

H 0
 The Goal of Green Tech
The goal of green tech is to protect the environment, repair
damage done to the environment in the past, and conserve
the Earth's natural resources. Green tech has also become a
burgeoning industry that has attracted enormous amounts
of investment capital. Alternative energy, electric vehicles,
sustainable agriculture, and recycling, are types of
Green technology.

Biodiversity
Conservation
Biodiversity conservation is the protection and
management of biodiversity to obtain resources for
sustainable development.

of species species and ecosystem;

It can be conserved in the following
ways:

In-situ conservation Ex-situ Conservation

Biodiversity is the conservation of species Biodiversity involves the breeding and
within their natural habitat. In this method, maintenance of endangered species in
the natural ecosystem is maintained and artificial ecosystems such as zoos,
protected. Certain protected areas where nurseries, botanical gardens, gene banks,
in-situ conservation takes place include etc. There is less competition for food,
national parks, wildlife sanctuaries and water and space among the organisms.
biosphere reserves.

H 1
In Philippines, The Protect Wildlife Project was launched in 2016 in
collaboration with Conservation International, USAID, and other
partners to combat the threats to wildlife and the causes of
biodiversity loss in the Philippines while taking into consideration
environmental threats such as habitat loss, unsustainable
harvesting, and pollution.
The project engage community members of various groups
and roles to encourage their ownership and commitment to
their land, forests and seas, and empowers locals to safely
conduct on-the-ground patrols with knowledge and training.

H 1
ENVIRONMENTALISM
and
ECOLOGISM
H 1
 Environmentalism
advocates the preservation, restoration and
improvement of the natural environment and
critical earth system elements or processes such
as the climate, and may be referred to as a
movement to control pollution or protect plant
and animal diversity.

H 1
 In various ways,
environmentalism claims that
living things other than
humans, and the natural
environment as a whole, are
deserving of consideration in
reasoning about the morality
of political, economic, and
social policies.

H 1
Environmentalism as a movement covers broad areas
of institutional oppression,
including for example:
● consumption of ecosystems and natural resources into
waste,
● dumping waste into disadvantaged communities,
● air pollution,
● water pollution,
● weak infrastructure,
● exposure of organic life to toxins,
● mono-culture,
● anti-polythene drive (jhola movement)
● and various other focuses.

Ecology or Ecologism

H 2
 Ecology
Ecology, the foundation of everything
Although ecology as a scientific discipline is relatively modern,
studying the relationships between living beings and their
environment is as old as mankind itself. In early hunter-gatherer
societies, humans survived by understanding their ecosystem.
Without a knowledge of the behavior patterns of animals, their
migrations, the growth rates of plants, or the importance of water
flows, our ancestors would not have been able to thrive and
evolve into what we are today. It can, therefore, be said that
without ecology there would be no mankind.
H 3
However, the transition to sedentary societies, the development
of cities and civilization, and the technological advances,
increasingly removed ecology from popular knowledge.

It was not until the 18th century, during the Enlightenment

Period, that the ecosystems started being studied from an
increasingly scientific perspective. This study was soon to
revolutionize History as, in 1859, Charles Darwin published
The Origin of Species, changing the way we understand
biology and the world forever.

H 1
A few years after the publication of that book, the naturalist Ernst
Haeckel, a great admirer and disseminator of Darwin’s ideas,
created the term ecology from the Greek words oikos (house,
home) and logos (study), “the study of the home“.
Today, ecology is the science that studies the relationship of living
beings with their environment and with other species. It is a branch
of biology and uses knowledge from many other disciplines, such
as geography, meteorology, and economics.

H 1
 Ecologist
Ecologists are the scientists dedicated to
ecology. Their work is fundamental because it
gives us important data to understand how we
affect our environment and what to do to
protect it.
H 4
 Ecologism, the return to the origin
Since its “official” beginnings in the 1960s,
ecologism (often refer as environmentalism) has
evolved greatly and today encompasses many areas of
society. It is a lifestyle, a social movement, and a political
ideology.

H 3
Ecologism is a movement that has been built up by many
people because the feeling of wanting to protect our home
is born naturally in us and is not the particular creation of
anyone.

Ecologism’s cornerstone idea is the desire to protect our

ecosystem and live in it sustainably. The rest of the ideas
associated with ecologism cannot conflict with that
objective and should always be analyzed, criticized, and
replaced when necessary.
H 2
There are times when environmentalists, especially activists,
forget about this and fall into fanaticism. This is especially harmful
because ecologism relies on ecology and therefore the scientific
method.

In the search for the best way to achieve this common goal,
ecologism has developed into multiple branches that
approach environmental protection from different
perspectives.

H 1
 The following is a summary of some of the most
influential trends in ecologism today:

Now, let see some ideas that tend to be
associated with ecologism but are not the
same.

H 1
 Environmentalism and ecologism are two
strains of what has come to be labelled the
‘green movement’ or the ‘greens’
(with or without a capital ‘G’).

Though the terms ‘environmentalism’ and

‘ecologism’ were once used interchangeably,
most people would now discern a distinction
between them.

H 1
Environmentalists believe that green
issues, however important they are,
can be addressed within the existing
political and economic structures.

To succeed, this would require wise

government, appropriate legislation and
the voluntary adoption of
environmentally sound practices by
consumers. H 3
Ecologists deny that this is possible. The environmental
crisis is so great, they believe, that only a thoroughgoing
reorganization of the political, social and economic system
would achieve a solution. This would necessitate a massive
change in human values.

H 3
In other words, Ecologism has a wider scope than
Environmentalism as it involves all ecosystems on Earth
while Environmentalism only tackles the direct
environment.
