Ecopsychology

While throwing out some old magazines, I came across an August 2005 issue of Discover. The article of interest was entitled "Are the Desert People Winning?". The article posits that according to anthropologists, the cultures of our world are in mainly two groups; forest or arid lands.

The theory of ecopsychology is essentially how our cultures derive from our environment. For example, those from rainforests tend to be polytheistic whereas those from the desert tend to be monotheistic.

The import of this cross-cultural research in relation to our environment, is that as we continue to deforest our lands, expend our natural resources, and overpopulate, our variety of cultures will diminish to one dominate culture.

Think this will affect our laws? Hasn't it already?
