About the Book

Environmental Education

Environmental education is the study of the relationships and interactions between dynamic natural and human systems. Environmental education (EE) teaches children and adults how to learn about and investigate their environment, and to make intelligent, informed decisions about how they can take care of it. Environmental education is therefore not only the concern of natural scientists, but draws from the tools and resources of a wide range of disciplines in order to demonstrate the root of current problems and suggest ways in which learners could either prevent or remedy these. The present work is designed to acquaint the readers with latest developments and researches in the field.
