Ecological cognition belongs to the basic content of ecological civilization education. The construction of ecological civilization is based on the scientific knowledge of ecology, environmental protection, geography and other disciplines, and the knowledge system of the disciplines is extensive and profound. In general schools and social education, due to the limited time, ecological civilization education does not need to be extensive and profound, but should systematically explain the scientific theories and technical methods related to ecological civilization construction, such as ecosystem balance theory, pollutant diffusion law, environmental impact assessment method of engineering projects, and restoration technology of degraded ecosystems.
At the same time, in order to make the concept of ecological civilization deeply rooted in people's hearts, the fundamental way is to form a national ecological civilization education system, to bring students and practitioners from all walks of life into the scope of ecological civilization education, and to adopt different education methods and impart different ecological knowledge according to the needs of different levels of objects, so as to truly teach students in accordance with their aptitude.
