ABSTRACT

The world is on the brink of an unprecedented growth-related ecological crisis that threaten the sustainability of humanity and the society. An ecological crisis occurs when changes to the environment of a species or population destabilizes its continued survival and existence. Man engages in different activities to the detriment of his environment which in return endangers his life. Unfortunately, man lacks awareness and knowledge of his environment. Using the method of critical analysis, the researchers discover that the major factors of ecological crisis include: pollution of air, land and water through excessive deforestation, industrialization, anthropogenic climate change i.e. global warming etc. Therefore, there is need to educate the people about its causes, consequences and prevention to avoid further destruction. Secondly, its education will help encourage people to use energy and water more efficiently and recycle household waste. Lastly there should be inclusion of ecological crisis and environmental education into the curriculum of the school system.
