Abstract
Literature on geography is replete with apologetics on its
continuing role and relevance to contemporary issues, not least
on environmental and resource problems and environmental
education. This paper examines the position of geography at the
tertiary level in the ASEAN region and highlights its basic
strengths vis-a-vis environmental education as well as the
challenges it is now facing. That it has a role to play in
environmental education is the basic thesis of this paper but
this calls for a change in approach and perspective in geography
itself.
