Abstract	The paper examines the Anthropogenic climate change is a key cause of biodiversity loss. The Galapagos Islands are a global hotspot for environmental change. The unique and endemic biodiversity of the Galapagos is at risk. The Galapagos Islands are located near the equator where temperature is likely to change above the global average level. Due to climate change, the island is in the verge of extinction. The island faces serious environmental threats such as a rise in sea level, increased retreat of glaciers, decrease in annual runoff and increased vulnerability to floods and droughts. Many species can’t migrate or adapt in response to changing climate conditions making them particularly vulnerable. Climate fiction explores the impacts of climate change on the environment, society, and individuals. Climate fiction is an immediate action. Climate fiction not only has the potential to represent the aftereffects of climate change, but also the capacity to provide a space in which to address the Anthropocene’s emotional, ethical, and practical concerns. Due to climate change, there is an increase in extreme weather patterns. The results of the review are important aspects of understanding the far-reaching implications of climate change on the islands. Methods of qualitative research were used in this study. The results of the qualitative study were acquired from a range of secondary sources, including press reports, scholarly journal articles, and previous theses. An overview of the causes of the negative environmental effects on the island was provided using a discourse analysis method, along with a few case studies that were taken from news reports and journals. When the islands become an exploiting hub rather than an exploring place it is where the problem arises. The study's most essential finding is that climate fiction is more than simply a discussion; it is a necessity. To conclude it is better to maintain the existing ecology than to prevent it from destruction if it is too late. The repercussions of climate change have already begun, but current attempts can mitigate the effects to a certain amount rather than preventing the planet from apocalypse. It further paves the way to blue humanities, deep ecology and many other aspects.
