La importancia de comprender los vínculos entre naturaleza y sociedad

Resumen

La naturaleza contribuye a la calidad de vida de las personas mediante una gran variedad de formas, constituyendo, al fin y al cabo, la verdadera base del bienestar y de la subsistencia humana. Sin embargo, la globalización capitalista bajo la cual vivimos está favoreciendo el avance de unos estilos de vida cada vez más acelerados y contaminantes que están afectando gravemente a la estructura y funcionamiento de los ecosistemas de nuestro planeta. Este hecho, como han alertado numerosos trabajos científicos recientemente, podría estar empujándonos hacia un punto crítico de no retorno que, de seguir así, podría desembocar durante las próximas décadas en diversos colapsos ecológico–sociales que podrían acabar por comprometer tanto la integridad ecológica de nuestro planeta como el bienestar y la supervivencia de gran parte de la humanidad. Bajo el actual contexto de crisis socio–ecológica en el que vivimos, y en un momento histórico en el que la mayor parte de las decisiones políticas están fuertemente subordinadas al crecimiento de la esfera económica, se hace más necesario que nunca repensar la educación del nuevo milenio para fomentar una nueva concepción de desarrollo humano que sea socialmente justa y ecológicamente sostenible. Y este enorme desafío comienza por comprender que nuestro bienestar y nuestra supervivencia dependen plenamente de los múltiples beneficios que los ecosistemas (cuando están sanos) son capaces de proporcionarnos.
