Interferensi Manusia untuk Melestarikan Alam pada Novel Karya Charlotte McConaghy Once There Were Wolves
Abstrak
Masalah lingkungan telah menjadi isu serius dalam beberapa dekade terakhir. Dunia telah mulai berubah akibat aktivitas manusia yang mempengaruhi lingkungan alam. Deforestasi, industrialisasi, pembakaran bahan bakar, kelebihan populasi manusia, dan banyak lagi telah memicu perubahan iklim. Dalam novelnya, Once There Were Wolves, Charlotte McConaghy menggambarkan dengan jelas kondisi tersebut. Novel ini mengungkap bagaimana pegunungan tinggi Skotlandia mulai hancur karena populasi rusa yang berlimpah. Mereka memakan tunas-tunas tanaman, sehingga tanaman-tanaman tersebut mati. Oleh karena itu, masyarakat di sana harus mengambil tindakan untuk membantu Pegunungan Tinggi Skotlandia kembali ke keadaan alamiah mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji campur tangan manusia dalam menyelamatkan alam yang rusak seperti yang digambarkan dalam novel tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan kritik sastra dan menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori ekokritik untuk menganalisis upaya manusia dalam membantu alam kembali ke keadaan alamiahnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa campur tangan manusia untuk mengembalikan alam menjadi liar digambarkan melalui tiga tindakan; melepaskan empat belas serigala, menjaga hutan dan vegetasi, dan menanam pohon. Ketiga tindakan pengembalian alam ini efektif memperbaiki alam yang rusak dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup masyarakat setempat.
