Abstract
Human actions are often induced by some fundamental assumptions we have about the world around us. These assumptions in turn shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This understanding in turn determine how we relate with the world around us. Thiş paper applies the analytic method of research to examine and analyze the current causes of environmental degradation while proffering prospects for better environmental friendliness. The searchlight is focused in the Niger Delta region as a sample case. Data from consulted literary works, local and international, affirm that the present condition in the region is a consequence of the dualistic framework of Western worldview which is perpetrated through the operations of Western-owned multinational oil corporations in the region. This leads to the paper's call for outright change of environmental worldview in order to reverse the present state of the environment and its consequences. A return to indigenous worldviews is proposed for its prospects of and environmental friendship between humans and non-human members of the material world
