Abstract: The article presents an alternative to analysing 'environmental bioethics', which in a syncretic way, articulates the etymology, the bioethics of dilemmas and creativity and industriousness, in such a way that it allows an innovative stance in the approach to current environmental challenges. Thus, it is recognised at first that the environment is immersed in bioethics, but then it is noticed that the environment contributes, as a positive non-zero sum game, to the concept of 'environmental bioethics', in order to strengthen the principles, values, aspects, and approaches of its object of study, taking into account the bioethical imperatives proposed by Fritz Jahr and Hans Jonas to relate rationality to human behaviour and their interactions with nature. Hence, 'environmental bioethics' considers that there is a set of ethical aspects and approaches with a bioethical perspective that function as a 'toolbox', which emerge as a function of the challenges and circumstances and not as a battery of principles in the sense of the principlism of bioethics.
