Abstract
The ecological crisis is a global problem that is also felt at the regional level, including in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province. Various forms of environmental damage such as deforestation, watershed degradation, land conversion, and declining water resource quality indicate significant pressure on environmental carrying capacity. These problems are inseparable from the anthropocentric paradigm that places humans at the center of natural resource utilization without considering ecological balance. The author aims to analyze the ecological crisis in NTB from an environmental ethics perspective and examine the impact of the anthropocentric paradigm on natural resource management. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach. The results of the study indicate that a development approach oriented towards natural resource exploitation without considering conservation aspects has led to a decline in environmental quality. Therefore, a paradigm shift towards an ecocentric approach and sustainable development is needed to maintain a balance between human needs and environmental sustainability.
