摘要：In this paper I intend to locate a fresh basis on which alternative theories of environment from the African worldview could be explored; one which will improve the literature on environment as well as diversify the basis for producing positions that could mediate in the tensions that define environmental problems and principles. I shall do this by (i) articulating the moral principles of the world and how it suggests an idea of environmental ethics;(ii)locating the philosophy that interprets traditional religious practices and the environmental principles that could be derived there-in. I shall demonstrate how (iii)these strands of ideas provide positions that strongly suggest alternative but valuable basis for environmental ethics anchored on African worldview and its theoretical and practical potentials for promoting the growth of environment.
