In The Green Halo introduction Kohak discusses ecological ethics and what it means. Kohak says, "It is about life, about all life on Earth. It is not just about humans, it is aout all animals, plants, and everything else in the environment. Kohak states that he uses the word ethics as an ordinary sense as a set of rules which we ought to follow. Humans do not always follow these rules. Unlike animals, humans in their freedom can do whatever they please. People obviously do not always follow the rules given to them. Humans are responsible for the killing of many animals each day.
In class we discussed the extinction of amphibians. In an article on nationalgeographic.com Brian Handwerk discussed the problems amphibians are facing. In the article I read, it states that diseases were killing off many frogs in Central and South America. The disease scientist say, came from changing water and air temperatures. Costa Rica's Cloud Forest Preserve stated, "Global warming is wreaking Havoc on amphibians."
