Soliphilia:  love of and responsibility for a place, bioregion, planet and the unity of interests within it.

 

The soli is from solidarity with meanings:
a union of interests, purposes, or sympathies among members of a group; fellowship of responsibilities and interests
 

From the French solidarité, from solidaire, interdependent, from Old French, in common, from Latin solidus, solid, whole.
