Educación ambiental, inteligencia espiritual y naturaleza

Our culture has developed an environmental awareness that has to meet many educative challenges. Environmental choices may build us up… or wreck us, individually and collectively, damaging both our bodies and cultures, even our landscapes. There is a shared link between human beings and nature, made out of both humanity and naturalness. The value and respect for both human beings and nature are damaged to the same extent that this link falls into oblivion in education.This paper seeks to foster environmental education through spiritual intelligence… and vice versa. This strategy aims at nourishing our environmental stance with depth and universality, in order to reach the culture that lies beyond the materiality of the environment. The role of the science of ecology is stressed. The essential distinction between human beings and their natural environment is seen as a call to nourish their respective values, which depend in each other.
