The accumulation of environmental problems, but also the ever-increasing impetuosity with which they manifest, led, starting in 1970, to the need for the emergence and development of a new branch of traditional ethics. Environmental ethics is concerned with finding answers to ethical questions circumscribed to the sphere of human relations with the non-human part of nature. The new field has proven to be an active involvement factor in promoting human values that emphasize the human-environment relationship. Many environmental ethicists believe that the non-human universe has value per se. The article undertakes a theoretical approach that tries to capture the relevant aspects of the efforts by which environmental ethicists combine their activity with other entities, responsible structures, in the collective intervention approach to improve environmental problems.
