 The continuing globalization of environmental aesthetics as well as the currently fruitful discussions both within and among the various points of view represented in contemporary research, such as in ecoaesthetics, suggests that the work that is most productive for promoting and supporting the aesthetic appreciation and preservation of all kinds of environments, both natural and human, is that which depends not simply on any one particular approach to environmental aesthetics, but rather on attempts to bring together the resources of several different orientations and traditions (Nassauer 1997, Lintott 2006, Carlson 2009, Moore 2008, Cheng et al 2013, Carlson 2018). For example, in addition to the Chinese research in ecoaesthetics, there are, as noted, similar efforts by Western scholars to combine elements of cognitive and non-cognitive points of view (Rolston 1998 2002, Saito 2007, Toadvine 2010). Moreover, many thinkers explore other topics that they constructively relate to environmental aesthetics, for instance, feminist theory (Lee 2006, Lintott 2010, Lintott and Irvin 2016), political and social issues (Berleant 2005 2012, Ross 2005, Simus 2008b, McShane 2018, Saito 2018), philosophy of biology (Parsons and Carlson 2008), animal treatment and protection (Parsons 2007, Hettinger 2010, Semczyszyn 2013, Brady 2014a, Tafalla 2017, Cross 2018), weather and climate change (Brady 2014b, Diaconu 2015, Nomikos 2018), and, perhaps most important, the enrichment of the quality of human life (Saito 2017a 2018, Jamieson 2018). This kind of work can also pursue the application of these and related topics to environmental policy and practice (Saito 2007, Berleant 2010b 2012, Parsons 2010, Sepänmaa 2010, Robinson and Elliott 2011, Cheng et al 2013, Brady 2014b). In this way, these contributions continue to shape the future directions of environmental aesthetics (Saito 2010 2014b, Blanc 2012, Drenthen and Keulartz 2014, Shapshay and Tenen 2018b). Such innovative, eclectic approaches, coupled with the globalization of environmental aesthetics, will hopefully not only further a wide range of environmental goals and practices but also foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the aesthetic potential of the world in which we live.
