Ecocriticism explores how nature and natural world are imagined through literary texts. Ecocriticism is divided into two waves.
The first wave is emphasized on nature and writing it as an object of study and as a meaningful practice. The main point of the first wave is the idea that there is environmental crisis regarding the cultural and physical aspects, in the world, so there is need to raise awareness and create solutions for those problems.

This is comparable to studies involving race, that follow this trend of identifying groups that have been historically seen as closer to nature.
In Lawrence Buell’s Book: The Future of Environmental Criticism, suggests that there are still issues of race among us but the environmental crisis around the world will be the greatest problem of the future.
