Deforestation for mining can threaten the balance between human life and nature. This research was aimed to reveal language and power in some media to report deforestation in Buxwaha protected forest of Madhya Pradesh, India. The data were obtained from The Quint and The Times of India as most influential English-language digital media.

Noticeably, the results showed power represented by local government and mining ministry that tend to accede to the proposed project without considering the ecological collapse Firstly, based on SFL theory, as the textual analysis the total of 40 data proved dominant process of material, mental, and verbal. Secondly, there was bias media to support the mining project by both online newspapers as the discursive practices.
