ЕКОЛОГИЈА И ЕКОЛОШКА БЕЗБЕДНОСТ – ПЕРСПЕКТИВЕ И ИЗАЗОВИ
ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY - PROSPECTS, CHALLENGES

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents ecology and ecological security - concept, subject, perspectives and challenges. It points to the branches of ecology, ecological disturbances, ecological factors and their significance, ecological threats to security, challenges and perspectives. The causes that led to the ecological crisis can be found in the disturbed balance between the natural life-support systems and industrial, demographic and technological needs of humanity. More dominant and more accepted thought in the contemporary world is that the ecological crisis and environmental disasters can lead to the destruction of humanity. Under the ecological security we mean "very complex process of confronting threats from any source, any type and any natural system component, including human society, whereby some degree of protection against threats to livelihoods, needs and interests is achieved." As a significant problem of modern civilization, ecological security is discussed starting from its conceptual determination up to pointing out the most important problems of its implementation.
