"Zombie economics" and Biodiversity of the Planet

Abstract

A generalized analysis of the concept of "biodiversity" used in social practice of ecological movements is presented. The position is expressed about an extremely narrow interpretation and perception in society of mainly commercial and political goals, using the methodology of the "zombie economics" of the modern world order. Public data on biodiversity loss over the past half century and the need to correct their perception taking into account other sources have been assessed. The need was expressed to form an expanded understanding of biodiversity on the planet in a form accessible to every inhabitant within the limits of his natural environment in the process of work and life. It is proposed to use it within the framework of environmental education programs and the formation of environmental culture among the population.
