In the midst of a crisis of nature and ecology that threatens the existence of all forms of life on Earth, we are in a period in which man is seeking a new and supportive relationship with the world. During this period, from the depletion of resources and the extinction of some living species to the burden of extreme environmental pollution and toxic waste, our planet has faced unprecedented problems. The population explosion on a scale never before witnessed, the increase in industrialization, technological manipulation and international armament have exacerbated this situation. For this reason, basic elements such as sufficient water, clean air and arable land that sustain life have been put at risk in many respects. This risk has endangered the harmony inherent in the entire fabric of life on Earth and the system that makes human life possible. For this reason, nature and the world that constitutes the ecological environment are in serious problems that urgently await our attention. Such complex and far-reaching problems, on the one hand, are characterized by economic, political and social factors; on the other hand, it emerges as a result of intellectual, ideational and religious understandings. In order to find a solution to this, broader or different philosophical and religious understandings are needed. In this respect, some views that put nature and ecology on the agenda should be re-evaluated. Because the views mentioned contribute to shaping the attitudes of man towards nature and ecology and to raising awareness. In this study, in the light of these problems, Mevlana's views will be applied. Mevlana is one of the important figures who left his mark on the period and our age with his logical inferences, unique style and rich fiction with his knowledge, wisdom and accumulation. He is an influential thinker in the field of Sufism, literature and philosophy. One of the issues that take place in this vast world of thought is his discourses on the concepts of nature and ecological consciousness, which he operates in the context of the principle of the integrity of nature. In his thought, this consciousness, its implications for nature and ecology are processed around the philosophy of process and the approach of divinity. Revealing and analyzing this perception of consciousness of Mevlana and his messages on the subject in the light of the philosophy of process that maintains its vitality within the boundaries of today's philosophy of religion is valuable in terms of the importance, problematic and purpose of the study. In addition, comprehending Mevlana's description and conception of nature and ecological consciousness, examining it in terms of process philosophy, determining that it prioritizes some processist data, creates an integration with some processist dynamics and has a comparable essence is of great importance in terms of the problem and purpose of the study. Because one of the main purposes of this study is to understand and examine Mevlana's view of God, which plays an important role in comprehending this understanding of consciousness, in the context of the panentheistic approach to divinity. Another aim is to determine that the analysis of the concepts, expressions and ideas put forward by Mevlana about this consciousness in terms of philosophy of religion with special reference to his works sheds light on the consciousness of nature, which is a global and contemporary problem, and also prepares the ground for the richness of subjects in the philosophy of religion. In order to clarify the aforementioned issues, the concepts that stand out in the formation of this consciousness, especially Mevlana's concepts of nature and ecological consciousness; holistic approach in the context of the structuring of nature consciousness, living nature or the talk of nature; issues such as the existence and food chain of ecological consciousness and their metaphysical and physical dimension were discussed.
