Summary/Abstract: In this paper, I talk about the construction of the environment in the discourse of environmental activism, that is, a particular image created around the personified planet Earth which is decaying and dying as a result of human behavior. Using a specific example from my field research, I examined the conflation of this construction with the nationalist narrative in the case of activism in the Republic of Serbia. The paper is part of the conversation on anthropology (in) the future and aims to position this discipline at the very center of environmental issues research of the new age and to suggest in what ways and with what research topics we can contribute to a better understanding of the environment.
