Unveiling the evolution of ecological crisis concepts: From origins to current perspectives

\nThe concept of ecological crises has evolved significantly over time, reflecting changing interactions between society and nature. Historically, various stages of environmental impact have shaped our understanding of ecological crises, from early human activities to modern industrialization. This study aims to analyze the theoretical sources related to the emergence and development of ecological crisis concepts. It explores the periodicity of significant stages in the interaction between human societies and natural ecosystems and examines the reasons behind these crises. The research involved a comprehensive review of theoretical literature and historical records on ecological crises. The analysis focused on identifying key stages in the evolution of ecological crisis concepts and their implications for both natural ecosystems and human societies. The study reveals a pattern of increasing disruption in ecosystems due to human economic activities and resource exploitation. It highlights how past crises differ from contemporary ones in scope and impact, with modern crises being characterized by more profound global environmental degradation. The findings underscore the need for a complete assessment of ecological crisis reasons to better understand their origins and impacts.\n
