Abstract Abstract
Water is the source of all living beings and is necessary for the existence of both biotic and abiotic factors. It connects the whole ecosystem and is a foundation for the welfare of society. If anything harms the water bodies, it affects the whole of humanity. More than 70% of the earth’s surface is surrounded by water so paying adequate attention to the water bodies like rivers, oceans, streams, and lakes is required to be an ecologically conscious person. Showing proper concern for the environment is necessary for every individual. The American novelist, political activist, and biologist Barbara Kingsolver’s works centre on ecological issues which create consciousness among the readers. Her novel Animal Dreams is one such novel that significantly highlights the issues of pollution in the river Grace made by the Black Mountain Mining Company. Degradation and exploitation of the natural world are projected by Kingsolver in the novel. When the major water source of the people is being contaminated by the mining company, the characters in the novel start protesting against the company to safeguard the river Grace, which is their evidence for fertility. This paper aims to study the importance of the preservation of waterbodies to have an appropriate climate, food, economy, and oxygen in the light of Barbara Kingsolver’s Animal Dreams.
