Abstract: Ecological prosperity leads to civilization prosperity, and ecological decline leads to civilization decline. The construction of ecological civilization is a cause in which the people participate in the joint construction and enjoyment of the people, and it is a fundamental plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. Ecological civilization education is an important foundation for the construction of ecological civilization, an important measure to accelerate the formation of a good social trend to promote the construction of ecological civilization, and an important part of China’s national education system. Although many achievements have been made in the ecological civilization education in colleges and universities in China, there are still a series of problems, such as insufficient attention at the university level, unsystematic content of ecological civilization education, imperfect curriculum and teaching materials, and insufficient education forms. “Based on geoscience, focusing on ecology, respecting nature, and cultivating culture”, natural culture education is an exploration of innovative talent training carried out by China University of Geosciences（Beijing） in response to the needs of the times and its own development, which is an important practice of ecological civilization education in colleges and universities, and has important reference value for further enriching the development path of ecological civilization education in the colleges and universities in China.
