This paper suggests a crusade against these damaging effects of modernism for a better preservation of the environment. The reason for this is surmised by this paper as a damaging evolution of the African history from traditionalism which seems to respect the environment to modernism which demystifies the mysteries accorded the environment and hence putting the environment into excessive use through some actions like deforestation, burning of fossil fuels and so on. This work looks at the African scenario which seems to be facing more environmental degradation in the contemporary times. This over possession by man has led to the destruction of environment by man who exploits the environment in his service. The medieval ethical system which denies intrinsic value to the environment and thus posits man as being at the center of any moral system leads to the over possession of the environment by man. The contemporary environmental ethics bring a novelty showing these environmental bodies as possessing an intrinsic value showing that they have an ethical value. The instrumental value here shows the existence of things as important only as they are useful to man. Here, nature is seen from the instrumental value which they give.
