OTERO LAMAS, Margarita  y  PRATT ROSALES, Ingrid Jaqueline. The path from environmental ethics to human ecology. Med. ética [online]. 2024, vol.35, n.2, pp.289-327.  Epub 04-Jun-2024. ISSN 2594-2166.  https://doi.org/10.36105/mye.2024v35n2.01.

Environmental ethics focuses on human responsibility towards the environment, especially due to the current abuse of natural resources. This relationship has caused serious impacts on the environment and human life, pointing out the need for a genuine and practical change for humanity to assume its responsibility in the preservation of the environment. By considering the theological-philosophical points of view presented by Pope Francis and Hans Jonas’ ethical proposal for the technological era, this study seeks to merge both ideas to promote biodiversity. This implies recognizing the role of the human being as a responsible steward, promoting an ethic that orients towards the future, while maintaining respect for the position of the human being as guardian of the ecosystem and its biological diversity.
