The Portrayal of The Relationship Between Women and Nature in the Film “FernGully: The Last Rainforest”

---

This research aims to analyze the relationship between women and nature in
terms of reciprocal protection as portrayed in the film FernGully: The Last Rainforest.
The film was selected due to its strong ecological message and its depiction of female
characters who demonstrate a deep emotional and ecological connection to nature. This
study applies an ecofeminist approach based on the theories of Vandana Shiva, using
qualitative data from the film’s narrative and character dialogues. The analysis reveals
that female characters, particularly Crysta and Magi, are portrayed as being aware that
human life depends on nature. This allows them to have a profound emotional
connection with nature, a strong ecological attachment, and a reciprocal relationship
with nature. Furthermore, the film highlights women's potential to protect nature by
portraying Crysta and Magi as protectors of nature, moral leaders who restore forest life
and actively spread important ecological values and collective responsibility towards
nature. These findings reinforce the ecofeminist view that women are vital agents of
ecological change.
