Anotation:
There are many saints living in Central Asia and in our country and thinkers
who left the works and national monuments which have many scientific and
spiritual, socio-ecological basis in their time with the application to us. for
example: Musa al - Khwarizmi Abu Nasr Farabi Abu Ali Ibn Sina, Abu Rayhon
Beruni Sahibqiran Amir Temur, Mirzo Ulugbek, Alisher Navoi, Akhmad Fergani,
Yusuf Khos Hadjib, and others have contributed to the development of World
Science and culture. It is for this reason that the study of the past of these breeds,
especially the educator, has given rise to the West and the current basis of
environmental development and environmental education.
Key words: Central Asia, the socio-natural problems, Natural Resources, plants
and animals.
The results of scientific research show that one of the peculiarities of the present
period is the occurrence of environmental problems at the global, regional and
local level. Ecological crises are of universal importance among the socio-natural
problems in terms of their relevance and geographic scope. Another characteristic
of the globular era is the aggravation of environmental problems, the complexity of
regional environmental issues. Therefore, the formation of their ecological
upbringing and ecological culture is one of the important socio-pedagogical
guarantees in the minds of students in the spirit of finding a positive solution to the
problem of the new content of ecological culture, its moral and moral principles,
responsible approach to Nature, Conservation of Natural Resources, rational use of
them and the formation of concepts.
In the middle ages, scientists who lived and worked in Central Asia left their
valuable scientific norm about the balance between nature and the world of plants
and animals, about the veneration of their nature, at a time when the term ecology
had not yet come into the world. Improving on natural phenomena, evolutionary

concepts and teachings, information on the link between man and nature were
expressed in the works of the first “Avesto” and thinkers created during the Eastern
Renaissance
Today, issues of nature conservation, environmental security have become a
common global problem of the world community. Along with the reforms in all
spheres of public life in our country over the past period, the state policy on the
creation of environmentally sustainable living conditions for citizens
has become the direction of priorities. The issues of the relevance of
environmental education to the spiritual life of society, in particular, the use of
national values in the upbringing of environmental knowledge and understanding
in young people, are of paramount importance in achieving the intended goal.
Environmental education, by reflecting human and natural relations in the life- forms, performs the task of educating the human personality, along with the
expression of the level and world outlook of the ecological and cultural level of
young people.
Attention to the education of young people on a global scale begins from ancient
times. In his manifestations ancient Greek scientists Archimedes, Aristotle,
Socrates, Plato gave a deep and comprehensive justification to the importance of
voluntary, active appropriation of knowledge by young people. Especially in
Central Asia, the education of young people, the environment, natural conditions,
their change, the current state of the relationship between man and nature, the
nature of man the issues of its influence on the formation of the spiritual aspect are
reflected in the views of ancient doctrines and thinkers.
For example, in the Bible Avesto of Zarathustra, the earth, soil, rivers, lakes,
gardens, mountains, vegetation-herbs are praised. Glorifying the native land,
honoring the water as a source of life, honoring the Sun, Fire and air are among the
central issues in Avesto. According to the doctrine of zarathustranism, the
perfection of spirituality and behavior of each person is determined by his virtue,
choosing the right path, studying secular knowledge and fulfilling his obligations
in the Ahuramaz with respect to his profession. After all, the fluency of
Zarathustra, who drove out the sheep, planted grain, nursed cattle, created a garden
in the desert, kidnapped the poison of the Earth, washed the brine and planted the
crop, is shown to be pure, kind, ameliorated.

Preservation of the environment, ensuring its prosperity is an environmental
problem, and its integration into the minds of young people is one of the current
pressing issues. It is known that our great thinkers have done great works in this
area. Among the eastern scientists who lived and worked in the Middle Ages,
Muhammad Musa al-Khwarazmi, Abu Nasr Forabi, Abu Ali ibn Sina, Abu Rayhan
Beruni, Zahriddin Muhammad Babur, as well as researchers, scientists and thinkers
who lived and worked in the XIX-XX centuries contributed to the development of
Natural Sciences.
Abdurauf Fitrat emphasized the importance of physical labor, economic
education in his works. Abdurauf Fitrat, in his early works such as” Discussion
“and” the story of an Indian tourist", draws special attention to the issue of
cleanliness in the villages and cities of Turkistan and the emirate of Bukhara. In his
moral didactic work "Leader Salvation" gives a wider range of views on
cleanliness and environmental education. The great scientist believes that
cleanliness is important, especially in the upbringing of children, in order for them
to be mature and healthy, and writes: femininity and purity are of great importance
in the upbringing of children. The more important it is to people of older age, the
more necessary and necessary it is to the little ones ten times.
Nature is the base of upbringing, after all, childhood is the most important
period of a person's life. It is the demand for the period of teaching the gifts of
nature, miracles to primary schoolchildren and the formation in them of such
human qualities as love for the motherland, love for Labor. The main meaning of
environmental education and training – nature and
the constant unity between society and the study of natural and social laws that
connect them to each other, is the introduction into life. Ecological education and
upbringing is the process of educating a person from the moment of his stepping
into nature, conscious use of nature throughout our life, the traditions, customs of
our people with respect to and attention to nature, encouraging to grow natural
wealth, organizing Gardens, flowerbeds, evoke good characters in our soul.
Thanks to independence, special attention was paid to the system of public
education of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in particular, environmental education
and education. For this purpose, a program of continuous environmental education
and training was developed.
