ABSTRACT
Jordan gave a clear example of states, nations and empires throughout the course of history that have encountered environmental problems due to their anthropocentric motives towards nature. Such ethics as anthropocentrism haven’t really gotten an applause among other environmental ethical principles, because it does not promote any efficient method for maintaining the environment. The disaster in the origination of such ethical principles (as anthropocentrism) is that, it still remains the lingering attitude that bonds man and nature. Man only considers conserving or protecting nature and its resources, if he can make use of them in the near future (weak sense of anthropocentrism). Unfortunately such attitude does not exhaust the philosophy of environmental conservation fully, because it still limits the protection of wildlife, forests and other resources from exploitation. Conservation practices should be devoid of a weak sense of anthropocentrism, if environmental conservation is to be performed optimally, and also conservation practices should be viewed merely as a solution to environmental and economic problems, and not just for the purpose of future exploitation.
