With rapid industrialization and rapid urbanization, in the era of climate change, deforestation is increasing significantly, resulting in rising global surface temperatures. Forests are one of the key natural factors that control and decide the climate, weather patterns, and quantity of carbon dioxide and deforestation of an area exuberates the survival of living organisms such as humans, plants, and animals. Because of Anthropocentrism, globalization and excessive commoditization, the earth, people, and climate were completely destroyed to the core. In order to rejuvenate and save the blue planet from these disasters there is a need or demand posed to consider nature and its well-being. The article primarily focuses on the process of emphasizing the ecosystem's value through Deep Ecology in relation to Thomas Coraghessan Boyle's satirical dystopian novel A Friend of the Earth, which takes place in the near future, where global warming has devastatingly impacted the environment. And the article also intends to project Boyle's concern about environmental stewardship through the eco – warriors of the novel and his clarion call for his readers to save earth from imminent dangers.
