The anthropocentric principle is the normal principle of beings, it only idealizes a selfish system with epistemological definitions.
When man appears and he has the instinct for self-Ireservation, or even the concepts of collecting products or objects for himself, these are the principles of anthropocentrism.
The concepts normally accepted as philosophical of anthropocentrism go back to the Greeks, Pythagoras says: "man is the measure of all things".
But how can this ever be right? Since the beginning of anthropology, man has destroyed other men in order to gain power and privileges. No matter the kingdom, be it ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, the Medes, the Persians, the Romans, the Greeks, or any other. The importance of man lies in the most powerful group, and not in man in his general concept.
It doesn't matter what time period or what epistemology is used. In the end, the most powerful group is the center of all beings. Therefore, it was never really anthropocentrism, but rather the search for dominant groups to destroy men and nature in order to preserve or develop this dominant group.
In a way, anthropocentrism is merely an excuse for the destructive justification of powerful groups to acquire wealth and power. Since all political systems, to a greater or lesser extent, have sent men to their deaths in wars, or tortured men, for their goals, and thus man often becomes inferior to animals, and even to things. For the preservation of dominant groups, men become extremely disposable instruments.
In fact, all ecological destruction is a byproduct of the anthropocentric view. And thus the entire system of ecological consequences for man is merely a byproduct of the hypocritical theory of anthropocentrism.
