RELIGION AND THE CONTROL OF ENVIRONMENTAL CRISES IN NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
This work argues that religion plays a vital role in formulating moral framework on how the human person should relate with other people and the environment. Religions fashion the attitudes and values that shape and influence people’s concepts of nature. Environmental crises or ecological crises are fundamentally crises of values. This chapter submits that it would then mean that religions which are the primary source of values in any culture may play a vital role in the decisions made regarding the environment.
