Abstract
The question of what ought an African ecofeminist environmental ethical thinking look like remains unanswered in much of philosophical writing on African environmental ethics. I consider how African ecofeminist environmental ethics ought to look like if values salient in the African communitarian philosophy and ubuntu1 are seriously considered. After considering how African communitarian philosophy and ubuntu foster communitarian living, relational living, harmonious living, interrelatedness and interdependence between human beings and various aspects of nature; I reveal how African communitarian philosophy and ubuntu could be interpreted from an ecofeminist environmental perspective. I suggest that this underexplored ecofeminist environmental ethical view in African philosophical thinking might be reasonably taken as an alternative to anthropocentric environmentalism. Because of lack of space to systematically defend a no-anthropocentric African environmentalism that is salient in African ecofeminist environmentalism, I urge other ethical theorists on African environmentalism not to neglect this issue.
