Abstract: Environmental ethics is a key branch of post-humanist philosophy and studies relevant normative issues, values, and principles relating to human interaction with the natural environment. Ecofeminists often find a relationship between Nature and women. Ecofeminism is a recent development in environmental ethics. Care ethics refers to approaches to moral life and community that are grounded in virtue, practice, and knowledge associated with appropriate caring and caretaking of self and others. If we view our interaction with other nonhuman animals and natural systems as a relationship we want to inhabit with care and respect and if we understand that this relationship asks of us certain responsibilities then we might begin to perceive ethical action as an enactment of our responsibilities within all our relationship, far and near. Reciprocity is an important element of the ethics of care when discussing human relationships with non-human others, and we often nurture different kinds of care in our everyday lives. This paper will be going to discuss how care ethics will promote the sustainable existence of Human beings as well as non-human beings. Environmental care ethics talk about the common attitude of "mutual love and respect" that people think it appropriate to take towards nature. This paper will critically describe how care ethics will promote the importance of ecological harmony and Co-existential relations between the man and environment globally. Here it intends to explore how the man and environment have made a symbiotic relationship with care for each other. An awareness of intimacy and interdependency in life must be discussed here through this paper. The term 'care' is used to suggest a value foundation for sustainability. There will also be discussed about care ethical perspective of Carol Gilligan, and Nel Noddings.
