The age-old relationship between humans and nature has produced enormous literature in olden times. The stories from Panchtantra, Hitopdesha and several other books bear testimony to this fact, Wildlife and nature in general have been a part and parcel of the Indian psyche. In fact, the life of humans largely depended on natural resources, and they acted as sentinels of nature’s bounties. But with the advent of the Industrial Revolution in England and the Western world, natural resources became a fodder for industrial production. As a consequence, the love for forests and wildlife gradually vanished into oblivion. Materialism took the centrestage and earning money by any means became everybody’s motto. The literature is said to be the mirror of the society, and the writers took cognizance of the new climate, language and the people’s behaviour in producing their works. Nature and wildlife enticed nobody. In spite of this backdrop, some writers dared to write on the subjects related to nature and wildlife all over the world including India. This study is related to Indian English literature which talks about nature and wildlife. Though the writers of this genre are few, their voice is so eloquent that it is difficult to undermine the role of nature in our literary endeavours. The list is not an exhaustive one,but arouses further hope. Writers have also raised the current topics of climate change and global warming which humanity is facing on a daily basis. They are the vanguards in saving nature from indiscriminate destruction and showing humans the probable outcome of this monumental loss.
