The Harmonious Coexistence Of Humankind And Ecological Environment

Since the inception of humankind, the relationship between humankind and the environment already existed, and this kind of relationship has been changing in the practice of humankind. This relationship is not only related with the value and power of environment, but also is related with the value, power, existence and development of humankind. Human beings have their own value and right as human beings, so do ecological environment. It not only has its value, but has certain rights. The values include intrinsic value and extrinsic value, natural value and cultural value; The rights include right to live, right of equality and protection, and so on. However, due to the reasons of objective and subjective, when human beings pursue their own values and human rights, it is hard for them to understand or realize the value and right which the ecological environment deserves, and inevitably over ask for the value that the ecological environment provides and ignore their rights. Ecological crisis is the inevitable product of this type of human behavior.So, correctly understanding the relationship between humankind and environment and analyzing the interactions of human development and ecological environment is a good perspective. The interaction between them is dual-effective. The dual-effective of ecological environment to human development is: on the one hand, ecological environment not only provides objective material for humankind, but also is the base of human nature and human development, thus boosts the development of humankind; on the other hand, due to the unbalance of ecology, ecological environment makes the survive and development of humankind face threat, makes the social relationship of humankind"materialization", makes the ideological and moral degradation of humankind accelate, and makes the the ecological ethics of humankind bankrupt and cause war and conflict. The dual-effective of humankind to ecological environment is: on the one hand, not only humankind is the main and decisive force for the changing and developing of ecological environment, but also the creative practice of humankind is the power for the harmonious development of ecological environment system; on the other hand, because humankind over asks from ecological environment, it causes the appearance and growing depravation of ecological environment.So, it is the importance that how to find out the method to resolve the contradiction between them when analyzing the interaction between ecological environment and humankind development to realize the harmonious coexistence of them. Firstly, we must adhere people-oriented and re-position the role of humankind. Secondly, we must practice the concept of sustainable development and construct the ecological civilization.
