Abstract
This article explores the vital role of integrating natural sciences in the
development of ecological culture among students and society. It emphasizes how an interdisciplinary approach to teaching biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science can enhance understanding of ecological systems, human impact on the environment, and the importance of sustainable practices. By fostering ecological awareness and responsibility through science education, individuals are better equipped to address environmental challenges, adopt sustainable behaviors, and
contribute to the preservation of natural resources. The paper argues that integrating natural sciences into curricula not only deepens scientific knowledge but also cultivates a culture of environmental stewardship necessary for long-term ecological sustainability. The study also examines successful educational strategies and programs that have contributed to building ecological culture, demonstrating the need for comprehensive educational reforms to meet contemporary environmental challenges.
