The paper examines the impact of climate change on animalization. In analyzing various texts it reveals as a theme; the concern of climate change and its effects on animals and their eco systems. Drawing from this review of key literature, the paper demonstrates that a shift in narrative focalisation -from an anthropocentric point of focalisation to an ecologically centred one- is evident, highlighting how literature offers a way toward enabling and enacting more imaginative ecological engagement.
