ECOCENTRISM — [Noun] A nature-centered value system that ascribes intrinsic worth to all living and non-living components of ecosystems, independent of human interests. From eco- (short for ecology, from Greek oikos, "house" or "environment") + -centrism (from Greek kentron, "center"), modeled after anthropocentrism. Unlike "anthropocentrism" (which crowns humanity as the measure of all things) or "biocentrism" (which elevates living organisms but dismisses the abiotic), ecocentrism refuses hierarchy—a mountain is as sacred as the lichen on its face, a river’s flow as vital as the forest it nourishes, a boulder’s silence as eloquent as a wolf’s howl. It is the moss patiently reclaiming a rusted car, the glacier calving into the sea with no witness but the indifferent moon, the desert wind carving stone into dust—the humbling truth that the world was not made for us, and will outlast us.
