Environmental literature can describe forests, oceans, animals, and landscapes, but it is not limited to them. It can prompt readers to consider how human decisions affect places and ecosystems.
Nature as a Literary Subject
Here’s how:
1-Landscapes can be the setting of stories.
In many stories, the setting and mood are influenced by the natural environment. A forest can be a mystery, a coastline a freedom, a shifting landscape a conflict or a change of form. Descriptions of nature can then be used for more than decoration. They may be significant figures in the story.
2-Students engage in writing about environmental changes.
Authors can find literature to record the changes they see taking place around them. Pollution, loss of habitat, shifting climate, and urban expansion can be the theme of essays, fiction, poetry, and other writing. These stories will retain observations that may be forgotten.

Make Complex Concerns with Personal Stories
Issues regarding the environment may sometimes be abstract and poorly comprehended. These issues may be expressed in the particular lives and experiences of the characters in literature. For instance, if a story is about a family affected by a changing environment, it may help readers grasp an abstract issue on a more emotional basis.
Reading Encourages Reflection
Not all literature offers answers. Rather, it will invite readers to consider the issues of responsibility, consumption, conservation, and human-nature relations. This reflective quality of literature is one of the strengths of literature.
