Ecocentrism (; from Greek: οἶκος /ˈoi.kos/ oikos, 'house' and κέντρον /ˈken.tron/ kentron, 'center') is a term used by environmental philosophers and ecologists to denote a nature-centered, as opposed to human-centered (i.e., anthropocentric), system of values. The justification for ecocentrism usually consists in an ontological belief and subsequent ethical claim.
