Abstract
The paper examines the interaction between humans and the environment and how they affect each other. It delves into the dynamics of life between the rural and city environments. It upholds that a dislocation from the natural environment transcends into a disruption of the family bond and life. This is because it causes sterility, since there will be no root. The paper takes as a base The Swamp Dwellers by Wole Soyinka, which it looks at from the environmentalist connection as a new model, especially as it concerns its effect on family tie as well as the dislodgment of youths from the rural area to the city. It is true that some critics may have examined the play, taking some look at it from the environmentalist perspective. They may not have taken cognisance of the influences and affinity between the neglect and abuse of the earth and the destruction of character and humanity with modernity, which these elements cause. This is a major trajectory of this paper. In all, the paper employs library research method with direct references to actual occurrences in the society. This is to expose the implications of the abuse of the environment on humanity, as well as implicate them.
