The alternative new approach to the presentation of the propaedeutic environment is dis-cuss, which may be preceded by the presentation of traditional material of special training courses in ecology, and for students no environmentalists – to serve as the basic course “In-troduction to the ecology". The basis of discussion, the authors prepared the manuscript was taken manual with the same title. This tutorial – the first in the domestic literature, designed primarily for students, which attempted to expand the “niche" of ecological knowledge, including in the course ma-terial, substantially beyond the traditional, expounded in the classic courses of ecology.. The main objective of the approach to the presentation of educational material is to give the reader a sufficient amount of material that allows you to intelligently sort out the problems that are now commonly referred to as environmental, and which have become dangerous, primarily because of their Evaluation relationship with nature people are more inclined to change the nature than his ideas about the wisdom of these relationships. Therefore, the ap-proach described in the environment is seen not as a science is taken separately, but is much wider – as the problem-oriented system of interdisciplinary knowledge about the relationship between human and nature in general. The true causes of problems, referred to as environ-mental, in fact, often go far beyond traditional ecology, and the solution of these problems requires more, including new knowledge, new type of thinking. The presence of sufficiently large information content from the analogous arts besides the basic material studied in traditional courses of the environment, in the opinion of the authors, will allow the listener a more objective approach to the analysis of certain provisions of mod-ern ecology.
