The ecological problems humans face today are increasingly varied, along with the advancement of human knowledge. These ecological problems became a literary work in the French anthology of Nouvelle Vertes, which is the author's criticism of the destruction of nature by humans. This study aims to describe: (1) the forms of natural environmental damage in the anthology of Nouvelle Vertes, and (2) the implication of the results of the research with the learning of French at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta, on the subject of Étude de Textes littéraires. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive method with Greg Garrard's ecocritical approach. The main source of the research data is the Nouvelle Vertes’ anthology, with data collection techniques using participatory observation and member checking involving notetaking. Data analysis used by the research is an interactive analytical model by collects, selects, presents, and verifies data. After analyzing nine stories in the Nouvelle Vertes, the study results resulted in a total of 20 quotes describing the forms of natural environmental damage: air pollution, animal exploitation, illegal and massive deforestation, and water contamination. Based on the data obtained from the analysis, there is an implication on the learning of French in the subject of Étude de Textes littéraires; students can criticize words, phrases, and sentences according to the theory used for studying French literature. They learn new vocabulary and understand how to take care of the environment through literature.
