description Environmental protection and preservation have become one of the most important issues of human societies today. Various studies have shown that among the various ways of addressing environmental problems, the most fundamental, effective, and cost-effective method to prevent environmental destruction is through the observance of environmental protection behaviors by humans. Therefore, to achieve this goal, we need environmental literacy education. This literacy should identify and respond sensitively to the complex and changing communications between humans and nature. Environmental literacy education increases people's awareness of the environment and the use of environmental information to improve it. To promote environmental literacy and protect the environment, the following three educational areas are proposed: 1. Environmental literacy in the cognitive domain: We enhance people's awareness and sensitivity to the environment and related problems. 2. Environmental literacy in the attitudinal domain: In this domain, obtaining a set of values and feelings of concern for the environment and motivating individuals to actively participate in improving and protecting the environment will be effective.3. Environmental literacy in the behavioral domain: In this domain, by considering environmental concerns in daily activities, environmental literacy education can promote the use of behaviors that reduce the adverse effects of the environment.
