“…And Thompson and Barton (1994) proposed an anthropocentric attitude type, an ecocentric attitude type and an environmentally apathetic type. Kaltenborn and Bjerke (2002) found that the anthropocentric value orientation correlated positively with a preference for farmlands, while the ecocentric orientation correlated with a preference for wild lands (Schultz et al 2004;Swart and Van Der Windt 2005;Stenmark 2002).…”

Cotoara-Zamfir 7.1 Discourses on Environmental Citizenship Environmental Citizenship (EC) is usually defined as a citizenship driven by green ideas which result in environmentally friendly actions (see, e.g. Dobson and Bell 2006:23-24). Green political theory sees Environmental Citizenship as an important element in transition to sustainability (Barry 2002). In this context, an expanded view on citizenship is needed to achieve positive outcomes for the environment by way of personal lifestyle changes and/or citizen participation in environmental decision-making (Schild 2016), and some researchers see environmental education (EE) as a way to cultivate Environmental Citizenship. The personal duty approach or lifestyle approach argues that each individual has the responsibility to take actions that protect the environment while also claiming rights to environmental goods (Schild 2016). Another approach claims that both individual and collective actions are needed to achieve Environmental Citizenship

“…Or, suppose trees are not only unseen, but unknown. This enters even more contentious intrinsic or inherent value territory (Stenmark, 2002), where trees' right to exist (as objects of beauty) is considered a public benefit, or even as a benefit additional to the public good. That such a belief, in two separable kinds of benefit, does lie in CAVAT's perceptions is indicated by: "All agreed to the principle of the ALARM proposal, which was that trees have value in their own right and also that they are highly valued by the public" (Doick et al, 2018, p. 85) [my italics].…”

Considerations concerning CAVAT: what does its “tree amenity value” actually measure?

CAVAT's system for amenity tree valuation is based on planting cost, modified by size and several physical and aesthetic factors. It does not represent actual replacement cost. Its adaptation for aesthetic valuation is contentious, partly because of arguable subjective judgements. The supposed mental frame of valuers causes serious miscalculation of unit value, because installation cost is divided by current basal area, not predicted lifetime basal area. Deriving an "annual unit value" offers a way to circumvent this problem. Which basket of services is valued is unclear. The value offers a possible starting point in negotiating compensation, but not "a market price" for amenity trees. While some problems are endemic to expert valuations, others are specific to this system. Identifying them might help in revising the system, to provide a value both rational and reasonable.

“…Besides efforts to reincarnate the law of nature through environmental jurisprudence, scientists, ecologists and environmentalists have continuously argued on why men need to respect nature and not to disrupt environmental flow. This has been referred to as the non-anthropocentric ethics as it requires human behavior and environmental policy to be in harmony with nature and not just for the benefit of human [22]. Aldo Leopold for instance introduced the eco-centric environmental ethics and argued that man underestimate the interconnectedness of nature and rebutted the general belief that predators must be exterminated to increase living herds.…”

Ecohydrology focuses on ecological processes within the hydrological cycle. It works under the assumption that an anthropogenically modified catchment or river basin can reverse environmental degradation and enhance the ecosystem service through improved climate cycle, controls erosion, soil formation, water purification, waste treatment and food production. Improved ecosystem services within the hydrological cycle can also serves human’s cultural and spiritual aspect as well as in the production of scientific knowledge. There has been call for countries to regulate the use of ecosystem as they are being degraded faster than they can recover. In 2001, the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) initiated the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) to assess the consequences of ecosystem change for human well-being. It finds that 60% of 24 ecosystem services examined such as clean water, food, forest products, flood control and provision of natural resources has been badly degraded due to unsustainable development. It is submitted that law can play a role in ensuring preservation of a healthy ecohydrology as a tool used by respective authorities to achieve sustainable development and prevent excessive use of natural resources. This requires a new philosophy on the role of law in ecohydrological protection since environmental legislations fail to punish human activities that had either directly or indirectly disrupt the normal hydrological cycle. An analysis on earth jurisprudence, environmental ethics, equity and justice may elucidate the need to preserve a heathy ecohydrology as its own and other human’s right.
