1) To understand the character and basic system of the natural environment (material cycles and energy flow) and patterns of human and animal/plant lives on earth.
2) To understand the influence of human life, including production and economic activities, on the natural environment, and appreciate the positive and negative consequences of such activities.
3) To seek a vision to achieve a sustainable relationship between humans and the nature environment so that humans and other living organisms may live with each other without causing damage to the natural environment.
