The problem of environment has lately drawn
attention from many philosophers which led to some of
them starting to heavily criticize the existing Western
Moralities for failing to address this problem and focusing
too much on human being alone. As a solution to this
problem, some thinkers proposed new model of morality,
while some others suggested looking into indigenous
moralities for a solution. This paper discusses and
proposes Indigenous Morality of the Oromo of East
Africa as a solution for this problem of environment the
world is currently faced with. The paper starts off by
highlighting concepts like Waaqa, Ayyaanaa and Safuu
which are basic to the moral thought of the people, and
then discusses in detail the moral relation between the
people and the environment as a whole. After thoroughly
discussing key concepts that make up Oromo
environmental ethic, the author argues that this new
perspective found in the Oromo environmental ethics can
solve most, if not all, of the environmental problems of
our time
