Connotation and significance of ecological education
To coordinate the relationship between man and nature and advocate green civilization, an important principle is to change people's attitudes and behaviors, so that people can establish new development views, values and natural views that respect nature, respect life, reduce waste and protect the biosphere.

New concept of education

1972, UNESCO published the book "Learning to Live: Today and Tomorrow in Education", and put forward three main arguments for establishing a new education concept.

environmental education

Under the social background that the whole educational cause turns to emphasize adult education, moral education, humanistic spirit education, lifelong education and learning, environmental education has a good humanistic environment and healthy development conditions, and has become an important part of the whole green cause.

Connotation of ecological education

In recent years, people pay more and more attention to ecological education. Since advocating environmental education, scholars have increasingly realized that ecological education should have rich connotations.

Six aspects of ecological education

It is proposed that "ecological education" should include six aspects: ecological consciousness, ecological philosophy, ecological values, ecological ethics, ecological civilization and ecological culture.

The Significance of Ecological Education

Ecological education should not only care about how to make a natural person become a social person, but also care about how human beings learn to live in harmony with nature, society and even themselves. Education should not only make people learn to know and do things, but also learn to live together, that is, learn to live in peace with others, society, oneself and nature. This is the real sense of learning to survive.
