One of the global issues troubling the world today is the ecological crisis. In recent years, the destructive processes occurring in nature have been the result of exploitative attitudes toward the environment. Saving nature has become one of the essential duties for everyone. One of the fundamental principles underlying the attitude toward nature is the issue of upbringing. In general, a person’s perception of nature begins to form at an early age. From this period onward, the formation of environmental consciousness and ecological culture becomes a crucial matter. Solving this problem is primarily related to the process of education and upbringing. In this regard, from an early age, students must understand the importance of protecting nature during the process of learning about it. One of the most effective ways to instill this in young learners is by using mythological texts in Azerbaijani language lessons. This is because, in primitive societies, humans did not separate themselves from nature ‑ they perceived it as equal in status. Therefore, mythological texts vividly reflect feelings of trust, reverence, and respect toward nature.
