Indonesia and India share many cultural and ecological similarities. Both countries are also home to two female child writers—Indonesia has Abinaya Ghina Jamela and India has Abhijita Gupta. They address environmental concerns in their writings. This paper explores their poems on environmental issues: Abinaya’s “Catatan Tentang Hutan” (Notes on Forests), “Budak” (Slaves), “Papua, ” “Di Pameran Lukisan” (At the Painting Exhibition), and “Sampah” (Garbage); and Abhijita’s “Mother Earth, ” “In Love With Rain, ” “Love for Nature, ” and “Precarious Corona.” The selected works are examined through the lens of ecocriticism. © 2009, IUP Publications.
