Abstract

Nature, especially organic lives within it, is capable of self-regulation and regeneration from damages. However, if the rate of human exploitation surpasses that of natural regeneration, problems such as environmental pollution, ecological destruction and resource degradation will occur. The author argues that nature needs compensation in a certain form and ratio for its production. Eco-compensation is a form of reimbursement in the name of protection to owners of eco-properties, but not to nature’s production. The true compensation should give nature a break by substituting natural products with manufacturing artifacts and utilizing social outcomes to restore ecosystem, cope with emergencies and preserve nature. The bottom line of maintaining the simple reproduction of life members in the ecosystem is the minimum standard of nature participating in distribution, namely the ecological red line. The sustainable development paradigm of ecological civilization requires that nature shares a certain proportion of the outcome of natural and social production so as to build a long-term mechanism for ecological security.
