Abstract
Though thousands of species exist on our planet, it is ruled by only humans. Our greed to expand our domination has disturbed the ecology. When technological advancement doesn't result in sustainable development, it brings environmental destruction. Man's senseless misuse of nature results in his own downfall. Avatar(2009) is such a science fiction film that portrays man's anthropocentric attitude towards the environment. The research paper explores environmental concerns in James Cameron's Avatar(2009). The human and nature relationship is depicted in depth in the film. Ecocriticism is the study of how nature is represented in literature. There is a lot of emphasis on how human relationships with the environment are depicted in a work of art. It aims to make people aware of the need to alter their thoughts and actions in order to avoid environmental degradation and enhance environmental conservation in the modern day.
