Modern ecological risks associated with the anthropological crisis of nature, leading to the paradoxes of the ecological state of humanity, are analyzed. It is substantiated that the unlimited use of natural resources causes a misbalance between human actions and the riches of nature. The question of the necessity of exploring the man-nature relation in the context of humanistic revolution is raised; it allows us to perceive the relation to nature as caring which includes such existential elements as agreement, tolerance, respect, and care. We are discussing an alternative view of the relationship between man and nature in anthropologies of exploitation and violence. It is necessary to realize the value of nature precisely in its ontological intentionality and not because it is valuable solely in terms of utilitarianism and pragmatism. It is determined that over technological human activity has led to catastrophic changes in large natural areas, destruction of natural water resources, and global warming, which threatens the biosphere and may lead to fundamental changes in the state of nature. The assumption is made that it is impossible to exclude the situation on the existence of the threat of catastrophe between man and nature; at that, the human search for the options of communication and preservation of nature and man, and their anthropological characteristics becomes expedient.

Based on the data showing an increase in risk levels of environmental disasters in the recent years, the author poses a thesis that if that tendency is not curbed, a rad-ical limit to the humans’ range of tolerance will follow. In this article, there are references to reports of catastrophic conclusions advocating that in two to three decades, a process of extinction of the human race will begin. The only way out is a change of attitude towards nature and increased efforts to sustain minimal boundary conditions for our species to survive.

Na podstawie danych obrazujących wzrost zagrożeń ekologicznych w ciągu ostatnich lat w artykule postawiona jest teza, że jeśli owa tendencja nie zostanie powstrzymana, nastąpi radykalne ograniczenie zakresu tolerancji ekologicznej dla człowieka. W tekście przywoływane są raporty o katastroficznym wydźwięku, które wieszczą, że z tego powodu już za dwie, trzy dekady rozpocznie się proces wymierania gatunku ludzkiego. Jedyną drogą ratunku dla ludzkości w tej sytuacji jest zmiana jej stosunku do przyrody i wzmożony wysiłek na rzecz zachowania minimalnych choćby warunków brzegowych dla dalszej gatunkowej egzystencji.

На основании данных, иллюстрирующих рост экологических угроз в по-следние годы, в статье предлагается тезис о радикальном сокращении мас-штабов экологической толерантности к человеку, если эта тенденция не будет остановлена,. В тексте приводятся катастрофические сообщения, ко-торые предсказывают, что по этой причине через два-три десятилетия начнется процесс вымирания человечества. По мнении автора единственный способ спасти человечество в этой ситуации то изменить его отношение к природе и активизировать усилия по поддержанию даже минимальных гра-ничных условий для дальнейшего существования.
