Eco-Ethical Concerns in Mamang Dai’s The Black Hill

ABSTRACT

The study of eco-ethics has gained a lot of importance nowadays. Environmental ethics explores that realm of applied philosophy which reiterates environmental values in keeping with societal perspectives, behaviours, and regulations intended to conserve and uphold biodiversity and ecological frameworks.
