Deep Ecology Dictionary Fr-Eng-definitions


I have encountered challenges in translating terms from French to English and vice-versa.
So I would like to share here my best efforts at translating certain terms.
I invite you to add any comments at the bottom of the page, that you think will add to the clarity of some of the listings, and to suggest additions to this dictionary with your own translation treasures.

The listings are in alphabetical order of the English words.
