Answer 1

• 1)Deep ecology is a somewhat recent branch of ecological philosophy (ecosophy) that considers humankind as an integral part of its environment. The philosophy emphasizes the interdependent value of human and non-human life as well as the importance of the ecosystem and natural processes. It provides a foundation for the environmental and green movements and has led to a new system of environmental ethics.
• Deep ecology's core principle is the claim that, like humanity, the living environment as a whole has the same right to live and flourish.
• Deep ecology describes itself as "deep" because it persists in asking deeper questions concerning "why" and "how" and thus is concerned with the fundamental philosophical questions about the impacts of human life as one part of the ecosphere, rather than with a narrow view of ecology as a branch of biological science, and aims to avoid merely anthropocentric environmentalism, which is concerned with conservation of the environment only for exploitation by and for humans purposes, which excludes the fundamental philosophy of deep ecology.
• Deep ecology seeks a more holistic view of the world we live in and seeks to apply to life the understanding that separate parts of the ecosystem (including humans) function as a whole.
• Bioregionalism is an activist form of support for the deep ecology movement. The Wildlands Project, The Arne Naess Selected Works Project, The Ecoforestry Institute educational programs, are all examples of applications of deep ecology movement principles at work in support of biodiversity preservation and restoration.
