Abstract
Ecological ethics is important in the drive to attain a sustainable and healthy environment. Ecological
unfriendly practices are currently on the rise. This research paper is therefore targeted at ensuring
ecological practice at all levels in the environment at personal and corporate institutions with the
sustainable development goals in perspective. Both ecological ethics and the sustainable development
goals are all interventions that prompt man to act responsively to protect and preserve planet earth from
the looming danger of partial or absolute system breakdown in planet earth, considering the active role
of man in the manipulation of nature and nature’s resources as enumerated in the five themes of
Geography. There is therefore an urgent need to stem the tide of this damaging trend through the
restriction of anthropogenic activities.
