The Concept of Ecological Awareness in the Poetry Collection Din Nam Lom Fai by Raekham Pradouykham

Abstract

This article aims to explore the strategies employed to present the concept of ecological awareness in the poetry collection Din Nam Lom Fai by Raekham Pradouykham. The findings reveal that the poet uses a holistic paradigm to depict the interconnectedness between humans and nature, emphasizing their mutual dependence. Two main strategies of presenting ecological awareness are identified: (1) portraying environmental problems, which lead to societal changes, such as deforestation, the use of motorboats, tractors, and the establishment of industrial factories; and (2) illustrating. the consequences of these changes through images of water pollution and drought. This collection is recognized as eco-conscious poetry, aiming to raise public awareness about the importance of nature and the environment, ultimately fostering a conservation mindset and promoting sustainable coexistence with nature.
