Currently, these approaches share the same environmental ethics as a common ground in promoting stewardship.
The introduction of spiritual ecology in the West has shifted ethics, valuing nature as a gift from Allah. These eco-religious groups are promoting what I would call Christian jurisprudence. Secondly, another shift in ethics is the promotion of rights towards the environment. This shift has resulted in many countries adopting this approach. You can be arrested for killing a squirrel in the UK or kicking a dog in the US. I guess that the rights-based approach may be equivalent to Islamic jurisprudence. This promotes stewardship, hence promoting conservation of species.
Religious moral teaching has a deep relationship with environmental ethics. Their attempt to bring religious moral foundations in discourses of environmental issues which tries to address the ecological crisis in connection with the Christian faith while other approach attempts to deal with the issue from an Islamic understanding of nature. Now, a general question follows: Are their eco-religious thoughts complementary to the present formation of environmental ethics? After learning about the increasing ecological crisis from the seminal works became interested in eco-theology. The focus was to show how the Christian faith can contribute to reform human attitudes toward the natural environment. The Christian Church, attempts to reconstruct Christian teachings about nature and the environment and confesses the medieval Christian Church may be indirectly responsible for environmental degradation to some extent because of its role in supporting the dominant culture of a human centered approach to the natural world, but modern science and technology are direct causes of the present ecological crisis
Karen A. Darbinyan Amazing Response. I am working on a likewise project, but I just missed mentioning Christian's theological perspective towards the environment- I touched the Western anthropocentric aspect. Maybe next time, I shall incorporate other religious perspectives.
