War has always had inevitable consequences for civilisations, from ancient times to the present. Throughout history, there is abundant evidence showing how war and its aftermath can devastate a country politically and economically. While war's effects on society and nations are obvious, nature often suffers from warfare in a more hidden way. The use of destructive weapons and the deliberate targeting of forests by military forces contribute to the degradation of the natural world. Since literature reflects social and cultural realities, many works explore war and its consequences, including its impact on nature and the environment. War literature highlights not only the social and cultural toll of conflict but also its environmental effects. Given that the natural world is an integral part of human life, this paper seeks to raise ecological awareness by examining how war alters the environment. The purview of the paper is to encourage those who declare war to consider the environmental damage it causes and protect ecosystems.
