Today, one of the important problems of humanity is the paradox created by the limitation of sources meeting the population growth and the needs of this population. On the one hand fast increasing population and on the other hand the presence of consumed natural sources requires new solutions for humanity. In this context, the solution is the sustainable development perception that can be summed up as the transfer of natural sources to the next generations before consuming. This understanding enables the humanity to sustain their current wealth and it claims that it can be done by the conservation of environment without giving up the development in the relationship of environment-development. On the other hand, sustainable development has an ethical dimension in terms of including the constraint demand of natural sources against today's people for the needs of next generations. In this study, development, environment and population subjects and the relations of each other will be examined in the context of environmental ethics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
