Local Knowledge and Building of Ecological Civilization

This paper discusses: ① Two concepts of local knowledge, i.e., anthropology and philosophy of scientific practice, which are different but related, should be explored and applied to the building of ecological civilization; ② Why is ecology a kind of local knowledge? The objects dealt with by ecology are extremely dependent on space and its scale, and have the characteristics of scale variation and diversity, spatial heterogeneity and so on. This makes ecology a special science that differs with physical science. Differences in spatial, geographical and geographical scales are undoubtedly the most obvious and relevant characteristics of being local. ③ Concept of local knowledge and building of ecological civilization. We believe that local knowledge is the most important concept and thought in the building of ecological civilization. In the process of building ecological civilization, it is impossible to realize a real ecological civilization without the dimension of local knowledge.
