Man in ecology as a multidisciplinary scientific field is one of the key ecological factors of the environment. Viewed historically, in its existence it is constantly changing and influencing the natural environment and adapting it to its needs. Namely, considering in general, we are witnesses that today's situation on Earth is greatly disturbed from the point of view of human influence and ecology. We are also witnessing multiple changes and consequences of environmental damage that occur in the context of global environmental problems or even environmental crises. Some of the major environmental problems faced by today's man are: climate change, the emergence of the "greenhouse effect", damage to the ozone layer and the emergence of so-called. ozone "holes", pollution of environmental media such as soil, water and air, biodiversity loss, waste, uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources, radioactivity, desertification and more. Global ecological problems, i.e. their emergence, are associated with the emergence of an irrational relationship and the creation of a rift between man himself and nature. In addition to the above, their occurrence is also associated with the effects of various sources of environmental pollution. Precisely because of all the above, the paper analyzes and deals with the role of man as an ecological factor and some of the listed global environmental problems of today, taking into account the short Islamic aspect.
