Exploring the intersection of Buddhism and environmental ethics, this article investigates how Buddhist teachings and philosophy contribute to contemporary discussions on ecology and sustainability.

The article also examines case studies of Buddhist communities actively engaged in environmental conservation, demonstrating the practical application of religious principles in addressing ecological challenges.
