Abstract

For many years, it has been known that various countries are facing the state of destruction of their forests, which are being destroyed in different ways. Apart from the destruction of forests through naturally occurring forest fires, forests are being encroached upon, destroyed, and destroyed and their area reduced for commercial resources like timber, minerals, cash crops, and hunting. Today, the world is faced with the need to recreate these forests and restore the environment conducive to the survival of biodiversity. Deforestation is similar to destroying ourselves. In this context, the works of fiction that deal with the forest, the wildlife, and the life and death struggle of the tribals in the forests, have only started to emerge in recent times. Lakshmi Saravanakumar's novel 'Kanagan' is one of the manifestations of that course of events. The novel has also proposed ways to protect the forest and every creature in it, which are important for the existence of the earth, and normal movement, apart from suggesting ways to protect them and foster social change.
