Abstrakt: Ecological security is a fundamental concept in the field of sustainable development, which plays a vital role in ensuring the welfare of biodiversity, balance of ecosystems and natural resources. Significance of the ecological security lies in its ability to maintain the delicate balance of ecosystems and mitigate the impact of climate change. Without ecological security measures, long-term health of our planet and its inhabitants is endangered. Ecological awareness is equally important in promoting sustainable conduct and practice among individuals and communities. We can encourage the feeling of responsibility towards nature by increasing the understanding of environmental issues and their effects on society. Ecological conscience is a term referring to an individual’s awareness and concern for the health of the environment and all its living beings. It is about understanding our place in the ecosystem and recognising the effects our actions have on the planet. This is a key concept because it supports motivation for sustainable life and preservation efforts. By analysing past studies about human awareness and experiences in the field of ecological security, we notice key elements of ecological awareness, its importance to individuals, communities and the planet, and how it can lead to positive ecological results. By analysing ecological consciousness as a form of social responsibility, we come to the conclusion that ecological conscience and ecological security are two interrelated concepts that play a key role in ensuring the environmental sustainability and long-term sustainable wellbeing. By implementing ecological security measures and strengthening global ecological awareness we can address environmental issues on a broader level and strive towards long-term sustainability.
