The ecological approach in geography became very prominent in the 1970s and has been of great importance for the further development of this science. Together with the expansion of environmental pollution, this has had an impact on the current treatment of environmental protection in social geography. This research is a part of cultural ecology - political ecology, where the influence of geography is evident, as well as in other scientific fields, such as environmental geography, geo-ecology, and conservation geography. The importance of social geography in environmental studies is particularly obvious in the context of global initiatives and action concerning nature protection, where every initiative is directly faced with numerous problems, like relations with local communities, borders and cross-border cooperation (in the example of internationally protected areas)
