The Vietnamese word "diệt sinh thái" translates to "ecocide" in English. It refers to the destruction of the natural environment, particularly due to human activity. This term emphasizes the impact of actions that lead to significant harm to ecosystems, such as deforestation, pollution, and the extinction of species.
In more advanced discussions, "diệt sinh thái" can be connected to legal frameworks and international laws aimed at protecting the environment. It can also be used in academic contexts when discussing the ethical implications of environmental destruction.
While "diệt sinh thái" primarily refers to the destruction of the environment, in broader contexts, it can be used metaphorically to describe any action that has a severely negative impact on a system, not just ecological systems.
