With the increasing power of technologies in the exploitation of natural resources, the environmental-environmental balance in recent centuries has been disturbed to the detriment of nature, which has created miserable and sometimes irreparable conditions and is referred to as the crisis of natural resources and the environment. It becomes. Today, the international community sees the solution to this dilemma as protecting the environment, and in doing so, wants to know how it can draw on religious teachings in this important matter.
