Environmental protection concerns the sustained development of the earth and has emerged as a global issue in the 21st century. The solvation of environmental problems depends on environmental education, which involves domains of knowledge, affection, and psychomotor skills. The primary task is to develop an adequate base of environmental knowledge. Terminology is a basic component in the system of knowledge, which is used to represent the concept of the title of collection in specific subject areas. Moreover, environmental education is interdisciplinary, covering a diverse array of the subject areas across disciplinary boundaries. To achieve better results of the learning, we need to first establish a comprehensive base of terminology appropriate for the students. This article discusses the importance of terminology for environmental education. Some strategic recommendations are made, including developing the required core concepts and key terms of environmental education and building terminology database with the theme mode for uses in terminology references, curriculum planning, textbook editing, and teaching parameters.
