Abstract

Mostly human activities are related to nature because humans rely their life to the nature. Unfortunately, many people do their activities which are very disadvantageous to the balance of surrounding ecosystems. From many cases of vandalism and exploitation towards nature, this study focuses on human efforts to restore damaged natural conditions on the short story of Jean Giono A Man Who Planted Trees. The researcher uses Ecocriticism theory by Cheryll Glotfelty to examine how environmental issues are illustrated in the story and use Ecocentric as the main perspectives to examine how human relationships with nature in order to maintain ecosystem stability in the area. The results of this study show that human relationships with nature primarily did not work, but because of Bouffier efforts as a main character, people in that place became aware to keep the ecosystem stability. In addition, nature that originally looked like a desert became fertile and filled with trees. At last, this study concludes that the human effort in maintaining and improving the environment is strongly influenced by the awareness and background knowledge possessed by that person itself. If they do not have both of these things or even just have background knowledge but they do not have consciousness to keep their environment, human will continue their exploitation towards nature and loose the ecosystem stability.
