1. Read the text.
Ever since life appeared on Earth, living organisms have engaged themselves in a perpetual process of adaptation to their natural environment, as life comes from and depends on nature. Through this struggle, species have been developing and creating their identities. But the only species that developed extensively enough to become conscious of its bio-environment and provoke alterations through interventions is the human species.
All of human development during the last few thousand years could be interpreted as the result of the struggle for adaptation to the bio-environment. From the most basic needs of survival (water, food, shelter, energy) towards the absolute domination of nature, the human being has been observing, deifying, thinking, understanding, controlling and dominating the world into which he was born. Out of this bilateral exchange, behavioral patterns, culture, experience, knowledge and science have resulted.
The consequences of this millennium-long development have had such a great and sometimes devastating impact on the environment that the conservation and protection of bios has grown into one of the most acute needs at the dawn of the third millennium.
We have to learn from the past, and have to realize that most of the fields of bio-environmental interaction between man and nature have already occupied the conscious thought or unconscious knowledge in previous times and other cultures.
Protection of nature, the urge to dominate it and to have the choice of decision upon natural phenomena, is to be observed in every human society or culture, independently from its geographical location or chronological appearance. These matters become of an important didactic interest in our times.
The understanding of changing environmental circumstances and of the fluidity of the concept of environmental protection requires the development of a critical appreciation of the numerous influences affecting the interactions between humanity and the environment. Bio-history can be seen as a new promising research direction, of interest both to the scientific community and to the general public. Its aim is to bring history and the sciences closer together, with the intention of constructing long and well-founded perspectives on environmental issues, past and present. As part of an integrated bio-centric education, the main ideas of bio-history need to be promoted worldwide.
