A critical view of political geography critiques the spatial discourse theories of power for liberation. In the last two centuries, the philosophical view of domination of nature has determined the way of exploiting nature and, consequently, the exploitation of other human beings. By subjugating humans life, the biopolitical discourse of governments can create the conditions for a situation called "Camps" and "Homo-Sacers." Although these two words have not been seen in environmental research in today's world, in Giorgio Agamben's point of view, as long as the living conditions of any society have similarities to his conception of the concept of Homo-Sacer and Camps, these words can be used to describe the region. The main question of this research is whether it is possible to generalize Agamben's theoretical view of the emerging of naked life in today's world, in a specific geographical environment, under the influence of the political-environmental discourses of the government? The research method in this research is descriptive-analytical and this article used and analyzed library information about Agamben's theories and political geographers influenced by him in the fields of "Biopolitics", Camps, "Naked Life" and Homo-Sacer. In the findings of this study, how to reproduce geographical spaces under the influence of spatial discourses of power in the natural environment by defining the terms Environmental Camp and Environmental Homo-Sacer is shown.
