There has been limited academic work done on Environmental discourse when taking Mizoram as a subject of study. Their culture is deeply rooted on land and forest but however the Mizos have also passed through several courses of change and development that led to a change in the social system. This paper will examine the factors that are responsible for the alarming decline of forest covers in Mizoram in the recent years (according to ISFR report) - which recorded the most net decrease in forest cover within the country in 2017 ie. 531 square kilometers. The need to reconstruct Environmental discourse from the margin is of great significance. According to J.B. Foster in his work titled ‘Marx’s Theory of Metabolic Rift: Classical Foundations for Environmental Sociology’ concluded that, “…we enter the 21st century- a century that is bound to constitute a turning point for good or ill in the human relation to the environment”. Therefore, it is pertinent to conduct a study on the interrelationship between society and the environment which will be the main objective of this paper.
