Reaching the higher level of awareness is pivotal for deep ecology which will enable us to rebuild the relationship with living and non- living entities. Thus to develop the higher level of ecological consciousness it is necessary for everyone to spend time in nature where some positive remedy for sustainable development will approached successfully.
