ABSTRACT
The fi rst International Working Meeting on Environmental Education in 1970 agreed upon the classical defi nition of environmental education as:
the process of recognizing values and clarifying concepts in order to develop skills and attitudes necessary to understand and appreciate the inter-relatedness among man, his culture, and his biophysical surroundings. Environmental education also entails practice in decision making and self-formulation of a code of behaviour about issues concerning environmental quality.
