The harmonious coexistence between human and nature is based on Marxist ecological thought,which is different from various western theories of environmental protection.As the ecologi-cal civilization idea which expressed from the perspective of the relationship between human and na-ture,the harmonious coexistence between human and nature includes"dialectical conception of na-ture","people-centered stance","green development path","comprehensive social reform"and"implementation in accordance with the rule of law".The construction of relevant rule of law not only requires institutional innovation,but also challenges the traditional legal theories.The major challenge facing the construction of environmental rule of law is how to define the identity of nature and establish a relatively independent legal status;protect the public's environmental rights and inter-ests,and ensure the people's principal position;determine the scope and way of natural commercial-ization and find the institutional path of green development;integrate ecological logic and legal rules to realize social green reform by the rule of law;bring environmental protection power into the track of rule of law and enhance the legalization of exercise and accountability.This requires innovative theoretical exploration and answers.
