Abstract

In today's environmental crisis and imbalance era, the need for active participation in environmental protection is more significant than ever. Nonviolent eco-activism has emerged as a powerful force for finding a durable solution to the growing environmental crisis. Although the efficacy and ethical basis of such activism continue to be debated, given the state of the Earth today, we need to urgently focus on a peaceful and sustainable solution to address these challenges. This research paper seeks to understand the ethical considerations behind nonviolent eco-activism and examines its vital role in achieving eco-peace and environmental conservation. By analyzing its core principles, practical applications, case studies, historical roots, philosophical underpinnings, contemporary relevance, challenges, criticisms, and comprehensive investigations of effectiveness, this research aims to empower individuals and communities to engage in peaceful environmental action. Additionally, this paper attempts to provide philosophical insights into how nonviolent eco-activism can contribute to peacefully addressing the many challenges facing our natural world and building a more sustainable and just future for upcoming generations.
