Submission declined on 14 January 2025 by Bobby Cohn (talk). Neologisms are not considered suitable for Wikipedia unless they receive substantial use and press coverage; this requires strong evidence in independent, reliable, published sources. Links to sites specifically intended to promote the neologism itself do not establish its notability. Declined by Bobby Cohn 7 days ago. |

Ecoaesthetics is a new field of research that delves into the complexity of aesthetics-ecology interactions. It's a move from traditional aesthetics that often concentrate on the beauty of individual objects towards the aesthetic appreciation of entire ecosystems. Ecoaesthetics finds that natural environments have intrinsic aesthetic value, unconnected to human perception or utility. It attacks the anthropocentric view whereby nature exists to benefit man while arguing that an ecosystem has an inherent worth and beauty.
The key concepts in ecoaesthetics are intrinsic value in nature It holds that ecosystems have value aside from use for human beings. In addition, it foregrounds the idea that all living beings in ecosystems are interconnected and should be understood and valued accordingly. Finally, it underscores that people need direct experience with nature-its sensory experience, emotional response, and cognitive engagement. Ecoaesthetics seeks to foster a deeper appreciation for the beauty of nature in order to inspire environmental stewardship and motivate individuals to protect and conserve natural environments.
Ecoaesthetics has many applications, such as enhancing environmental education through artistic and aesthetic experiences. It can guide landscape architecture and urban planning by emphasizing the integration of nature into built environments. In addition, in informing environmental policies, ecoaesthetics reveals the aesthetic significance of natural environments and how important it is in decision-making matters. Lastly, ecoaesthetics inspires more artists and writers to create arts that raise and promote awareness to environmental issues or to deepen peoples' appreciation for natures.
