Summary/Abstract: Ethical/moral responsibility between humans and duties/obligations for other creatures after Albert Schweitzer’s ethics of “Reverence for Life”. Extended responsibility for “Nature” in general and practice – in particular for encroaching on and intruding in ecosystems facing the extant climate crisis and ecological dangers. What do the imperatives of “concrete humanity” or practical “humaneness” mean – and how can we realize and, more important, materialize these aims and values? Some practice-oriented theses are sketched out.
