The site promotes a book by Laurence Evans called
Nature's Holism. The book was published in 2000 through iUniverse, a
subsidy publisher.
I have not read the book and offer no impressions of my own other than to note that 'ecotaoism' did not originate in Taoism.
Evans describes 'ecotaoism' as a holistic philosophy based on the evolution of ecosystems.
quote:
Ecotaoism is a term used for an ancient way of life and ideas expressed within the context of modern science. It is an environmental principle based on ecology and evolution. An investigation of existing principles, has shown that the ancient Chinese Taoist forces of yin and yang are similar to the idea that I present. From this context, the term ecotaoism was coined.
By examining how two associated species evolve (co-evolution), one arrives at a holistic view of nature where interdependence between long-associated species within an ecosystem is dominant. Ecotaoism can be called the science that studies the evolution of interdependence within ecosystems.
An idea that does not conflict with religious or cultural beliefs, is easy to understand, and threatens no ideology, but rather improves the chances of peace, ecological stability and environmental health, should spread and evolve at an incredible rate.

A more detailed discussion appears in this synopsis.

Nature's holism is the mechanism in nature that causes coevolution between different interacting species. It requires a study of evolution and ecology. Human evolution is discussed to put humanity into this ecological context. This book provides a scientifically based argument for an ecological process often described as coevolution and mutualism.
