The Importance of Logical and Critical thinking in conservation of forests and ecology.

Conservation of forests and ecology is one of the pressing needs of human kind today. The topic is widely spoken about in academic circles, various local, national and international forums and also Pope Francis has stressed on the importance of caring for our common home, especially in his encyclical 'Laudato Si'. In this paper, I shall present how lack of long term planning, by the government and other agencies led to adverse effects on the ecology and the important role logic and philosophy can play in the conservation of forest and ecosystem. Being a student of Botanical science and having worked with MPSM in its various initiatives of ecological sustaining and enhancement projects, I have realized the importance and the far reaching effects of philosophical logic and critical thinking in conservation and reforestation initiatives.
