The biosphere of the planet already long time experiences serious strain. To keep the house, the mankind needs to make purposeful efforts. The ecology, integrated science about the environment helps to solve similar problems. The modern ecology consists of several interconnected tiers, on each of which the specific problems concerning the environment of natural dwelling of the person are considered.
Instruction
1. At a turn of two millennia the ecology turned into system science within which the complete philosophy of balanced development of a human civilization is developed. Not only comprehensive study of the environment, but also development of methods of its restoration becomes the purpose of this discipline more and more. In the conditions of active approach of a civilization to the nature this direction in science becomes extremely significant.
2. The feature of modern ecology is that from natural science it more and more turns into set of the applied disciplines incorporating knowledge from the field of physics, chemistry, geography, sociology and even economy. The pronounced social bias which was outlined recently brings together ecology with social sciences and social philosophy more and more.
3. In the broadest sense the modern ecology contains in itself several dozen directions of a research and skilled developments. Education, unfortunately, does not keep up with development of ecological knowledge. Professionals in the field of ecology should improve the skills independently, without being limited to standard training programs which volume and quality cannot often satisfy requirement of society for ecological education.
4. Having arisen as bioecology, the science about the environment so far grew in complex discipline for which the ecological philosophy became base. Within present ecology there is not only a collecting and systematization of biological and geographical knowledge, but also straight lines and feedback between natural processes and results of their influence on the social sphere and economic activity come to light.
5. At the present stage of its development are in the center of ecology as the relationship between live and inanimate nature, and conscious human activity which is daily changing the image of the planet and creating for itself more and more comfortable habitat. Investigating separate ecosystems in terms of their usefulness for people, the ecology seeks to create the long-term strategy of relationship between the person and natural objects.
6. Knowledge obtained from ecology find broad application practically in all spheres of human activity: in the industry, rural and forestry, power, military science. To the recommendations of scientists-ecologists the heads of manufacturing industries interested in maintaining natural base for the business in the long term more often listen. In the certain states of provision of ecological philosophy become a basis for the adopted laws directly related to the environment.
