The mismatch between demand and the carrying capacity of natural resources is increasing and is eating away the very resource-base necessary for all life-forms including humans. Mankind being at the top of the pyramid in biosphere has the sole responsibility to check further deterioration and reverse the trend towards better environment. Hopefully, the realization is coming and people are now aware of environmental hazards. Human ingenuity, with its present phenomenal wealth of knowledge as never before, will certainly be able to rectify and redeem the damage done mainly by its own anthropocentric attitudes. The process will be difficult but not insurmountable. It will need tremendous collective efforts and willpower of mankind as a whole.
The first step should be to change the attitude from anthropocentric and selfish to compassionate and universal for all the constituents of environment both animate and inanimate. The attitudinal change then should be translated into practice and deeds. The fourteen aforesaid environmental doctrines of Jainism based on most judicious logical and scientific basis if understood, imbibed and followed will address all issues and problems concering environment and ensure its preservation and redemption.
