In our age of huge ecological crisis and colossal consequences for humanity and the earth system, occasioned by man’s ill-exploitation of the earth’s resources, this paper argues that the root of our ecological crisis is in the spiritual deficit of the modern man, which informs man’s attendant exploitative approach to nature. Thus, in the light of the contemporary search for remedy through ecological spirituality, the paper calls for spiritual renaissance of Africans through the re-sacralization of their worldview in line the traditional African eco-spirituality, to save the African continent from ecological collapse. For this aim, the paper explores the concept of African eco-spirituality and appeals to its viable potential in addressing the present ecological crisis and ensuring a sustainable ecological management and protection in Africa. The hermeneutical, speculative and prescriptive methods of research are adopted in the paper.
