On the Issues of Developing a Glossary of Basic Ecological Terms in the Field of Earth and Environmental Sciences /Gunia Garry/ Transactions IHM, GTU. - 2024. - vol.135. - pp.98-101 – Georg., Summ. Georg., Eng. In the recent period, a number of academic disciplines can be found in higher education institutions, such as, for example, "chemical ecology", "engineering ecology", "construction ecology", etc. The analysis of the content of these new disciplines shows that, often, they consider only certain aspects of environmental protection and nature use, and the content is far from belonging to ecology. Therefore, we believe that the existence of a dictionary-reference of the unified terms and definitions of the basics of ecology will significantly contribute to a stricter approach to the use of the term "ecology" and its derivatives. In addition, it is necessary to discuss the general issues of environmental factors and their impact, including, in the conditions of the escalation of contradictions in the "man - nature - society" system, to develop new strategic ways of developing environmental education.
The above-mentioned opinions correspond well with the declaration on environmental education prepared at the intergovernmental conference held in Tbilisi in 1977 under the auspices of the United Nations, in which the structure of environmental education systems was established for the first time, both at the local, national and international levels.
