The ethical relationship between humans and the natural world is the focus of environmental ethics. Environmental ethics did not become a distinct philosophical field until the 1970s, despite the fact that numerous philosophers have written about it throughout history. In the 1960s, people became more aware of the effects that population growth, technology, industry, and economic expansion were having on the environment. The publication of two significant books at this time helped foster this awareness. In her 1962 book Silent Spring, Rachel Carson made readers aware of how the widespread use of chemical pesticides was threatening public health and destroying wildlife. The Population Bomb, written by Paul Ehrlich in 1968, warned of the devastating effects that an expanding human population has on the planet's resources. Of course, environmental issues like pollution and resource depletion haven't been the only ones since then: Climate change, the loss of wilderness, the degradation of ecosystems, and decreasing plant and animal biodiversity are all part of a long list of "green" issues that have gained prominence in recent years in public policy as well as public consciousness. Our moral responsibilities in light of such concerns are the focus of environmental ethics. In a nutshell, environmental ethics must address the following two fundamental issues: What responsibilities do people have toward the environment, and why? Usually, the second question needs to be thought about first. It is typically considered necessary to first consider the reasons behind our obligations before addressing the specific obligations we have. For instance, do we have responsibilities toward the environment for the benefit of entities within the environment itself or for the benefit of humans as a whole, regardless of any benefits to humans? This fundamental question has received very different responses from various philosophers, which, as we shall see, has resulted in the development of very different environmental ethics. In this paper I shall try to explain the concept of environmental ethics in ancient india.
