“After a thorough review of the literature, we formulated our own definition for this study: an ecologically literate person can recognize the relevance and application of ecological concepts to understanding human impacts on ecosystems.”
“We conclude that ecological literacy occurs on a continuum. Authentic learners who can recognize dilemmas, possible decisions, and their ecological consequences are on one end of this continuum. At the other end are the superficial and subjective learners, who do not demonstrate a conceptual framework that is adequate for explaining how their actions may have ecological impacts.”
