Answers
Answer:
An ecological crisis occurs when changes to the environment of a species or population destabilizes its continued survival.Some of the important causes include:
Degradation of an abiotic ecological factor (for example, increase of temperature, less significant rainfalls)
Increased pressures from predation
Rise in the number of individuals especially in the urban areas
(overpopulation)[1]
The evolutionary theory of punctuated equilibrium sees infrequent ecological crises as a potential driver of rapid evolution.
There is a prevailing view that current ecological crisis is of anthropogenic origin and some researchers have found the ideological grounds for such an anthropocentric behavior in Abrahamic traditions. "The West's traditional denial of soul-stuff to animals, and its insistence that man alone was immortal and stood at the pinnacle of all creation, led to abuses contributing to the present-day ecological crisis. At a symposium of theologians in California, 1970, "virtually all the scholars agreed that the traditional Christian attitude toward nature has given sanction to exploitation of the environment by science and technology and thus contribute to air and water pollution, overpopulation and other ecological threats". [2] Lynn White wrote, "One of the causes of our present crisis is to be found in the Judeo-Christian traditions... which speak of man's dominance over nature .... By destroying pagan animism, Christianity made it possible to exploit nature in a mood of indifference to the feelings of [nature's other creatures]".[3]
