The reduction of natural ecosystems leads to a decline in environmental sustainability and a deterioration of its vital qualities. Life is possible only within communities and within a specific set of conditions characterizing their habitat.
The paper examines the concept of Sustainable Development as a system of intersecting discourses. Several axes along which these discourses are formed are identified, important for understanding "what is a plus and what is a minus" for the SD concept.
The article examines the unconscious prerequisites of modern types of human-nature relationships, as well as the extra-conscious components of the modern ecological worldview.
Representatives of the Environmental Movement 'BIOM,' the Global Forest Coalition, and national environmental organizations took part in the National Presentation of the draft resolution of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly, 'Nature Knows No Borders.'
Humanity currently faces a number of global challenges. By global challenges, we mean the abrupt changes in the social, informational, and natural environment of human habitation that have occurred over the past 100 years in almost the entire world.

Our own State Agency for Environmental Protection and Forestry does not have enough salaried positions for nature protection, even for those species of animals and plants included in the Red Book of the Kyrgyz Republic.

School T is a school of thematic learning. Its necessity is recognized by students, but it is suppressed by the teaching structure that has become entrenched worldwide. The structure of instruction! Indeed, who is capable of studying, one after another over the course of several hours (in exactly this order), tangents and cotangents, the cardiovascular system of mammals, the realism of Leo Tolstoy, the structural formula of benzene, and the June Third coup d'état — without losing their mind?
