Abstract This research examines the role of environmental Literature and Cinema with the special reference to Octavia E. Butler's Parable of the Sower, Barbara Kingsolver's Flight Behavior. It addresses the ecological concerns with a particular emphasis on how these works criticize social injustice and environmental degradation. Both the texts highlights how the ecological issues impacts the population while it exposes the interconnection between socio economic disparities and environmental challenges. In “Parable of Sower”, Butler visualizes a dystopian society stamped by various issues such as climate change, scarcity of resources along with economic downturn focusing on the urgency of sustainable solutions. In the similar ways, “Flight Behaviour” by Barbara Kingsolver projects the struggles and challenges face by the rural of Appalachian community, through the use of disturbed migration pattern of monarch butterflies as an indicator of climate change. With the amalgamation of such speculative fiction with contemporary realism, both the writers advocates for ecological awareness. They focus on the need for raising environmental awareness and highlighting the urgent need of addressing contemporary ecological issues.Through an ecocritical approach, this paper analysis how these texts acts as a tool for environmental advocacy
