The terms “environmentalism” and “ecology” go hand-in-hand in the literature of recent days. The predominant theme of the ‘Return to Nature’ that shapes the writings of the Romantic Age in English literature, has revived itself once again into the literary discussions of recent days with growing concerns about nature and ecosystem besides rejoicing its beauty with fabricating words. Amitav Ghosh’s novel “Gun Island” depicts the environmental crisis and the ecological fluctuations resulting from the anthropogenic activities on earth that disturbs the man-nature relationship without providing any way outs to fix this issue. Drawing on this novel, this article emphasizes on how human-centric culture with its endless desire for living a ‘good life’ leads to devastating consequences of degenerating ecosystems and changing climatic conditions, their culminative impacts upon the territories of humans and non-human worlds.
