Deforestation, Climate Change, Environmental ActivismAbstract [English]
Every now and again, environmental issues have become more prominent, particularly in literature. Throughout the ages, the forest has been regarded as one of the most significant natural properties. However, the environment is currently suffering greatly as a result of the conversion of forested areas to non-forest areas. It has a significant effect on many aspects such as biodiversity, forestry, and climate mitigation. Richard Powers’ The Overstory exposes environmental issues like deforestation and also examines nature from an ecological and scientific standpoint. The study aims to investigate the interactions between the environment and humans. The ideas, sentiments, and thoughts of the environmentalists regarding the natural damage are expressed realistically.
