Editing Environmental ethics (section)

== Status of the field ==

Only after 1990 did the field gain institutional recognition as programs such as [[Colorado State University]], the [[University of Montana]], [[Bowling Green State University]], and the [[University of North Texas]]. In 1991, [[Schumacher College]] of [[Dartington]], England, was founded and now provides an MSc in Holistic Science.

These programs began to offer a master's degree with a specialty in environmental ethics/philosophy. Beginning in 2005 the Department of Philosophy and Religion Studies at the [[University of North Texas]] offered a PhD program with a concentration in environmental ethics/philosophy.

In Germany, the [[University of Greifswald]] has recently established an international program in Landscape Ecology & Nature Conservation with a strong focus on environmental ethics. In 2009, the [[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich|University of Munich]] and [[Deutsches Museum]] founded the [[Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society]], an international, interdisciplinary center for research and education in the environmental humanities.
