Abstract

The contemporary geo – political climate of the world – order has embroiled the entirety of the human civilization in an ontological crisis. The technological progress of the human race lauds the entitled and privileged neo – liberal worldviews of the intelligentsia, by pretentiously dismissing all forms of environmental responsibility as ancillary concerns. Narratives underscoring the need to strengthen a concerted effort for mobilizing ideals of environmental protection into substantive action are deplorably inadequate. The ongoing climate crises of the world has endangered the totality of the human, sub – human, non – human, natural and animal communities of the planet Earth. The mammoth challenges of mitigating accelerated biodiversity extinctions and jeopardized environmental futurities can be addressed by advancing narratives of intrinsic interrelationalities between all communities of the planet. It is at this juncture that the theoretical deliberations comprising the concept of Deep Ecology may prove to be crucial in the construction of an environmentally sentient posterity. The conceptualization of this philosophical approach to environmental conservation may advance the sole manner of expiation for these ecologically precarious times.
