ECO-LOGIC
Dr.
Bhawalkar defines
Eco-Logic as:
-
Every organism has a
role.
-
Body structure and
function is to facilitate its role.
-
Population of each
organism is controlled by the task before the organism.
-
Organisms could be
divided into two categories :
- resource converters (K-selected )
- waste controllers (r-selected).
-
K-selected organisms
are hidden, quiet or pleasant, whereas the r-selected organisms are visible,
highly mobile or unpleasant in their behaviour.
-
Pollution is an
indication of waste of resources. Pollution controllers (r-selected
organisms) cause human suffering, to variable extent, to draw
our attention to the waste and appeal for the preventive action.
-
The smaller the
organism, the more productive it is.
-
Predator culls its prey selectively to remove defective young and
ineffective old, thus increasing productivity of the prey.
-
Each niche (function
station) has one organism with specific function and specific food. If two
organisms try to occupy the same niche, the more effective one gets
selected.
-
Successful breeding
is an indication that the organism is playing its role effectively.
-
Ecosystems are self-designed and self-improving. They are self-controlled,
aimed at resource conservation and sustainability. Each organism gives an
additional capability to the ecosystem. Biodiversity, thus, improves the
ecosystem performance.
-
Mother Earth behaves
as a self-controlled ecosystem. Even the abiotic components, such as
lightening, storms, tornadoes, floods, droughts, global warming, ozone layer
depletion, forest fires, earthquakes and volcanoes are corrective in action
and contribute to the stability. These unpleasant phenomena could be managed
best by going to their root cause: the waste of resources by man.
