The article reveals methodological aspects related to the problems of ethno-ecological education. The author formulates the main talking point and defines it as contradiction between existing paradigm fundamentals of traditional education and necessity to build up new educational interaction based on principles of ethno-ecological professional education. The author supposes that this combination allows different ethnic communities to preserve ethnical identity and integrate with modern multicultural space based on globalization tendencies. The author comes to conclusion that today it is urgent and necessary to focus on relation “ours and theirs” whereas traditional educational paradigm of ethno-ecological education focuses on “friend-or-foe”. The conclusion is based on philosophic ideas of ethnical pedagogics and modern focuses on keeping ethnical identity and ethno-ecological education in the process. Ethno-ecological professional education plays the most important role in transformation. It allows freezing the process of cultures disappearing and enhancing possibility of their replication.
