1. You must have heard about the famous 'Chipko movement', a forest conservation movement that
began in India in 1973 in which the demonstrators hugged the trees to prevent them from being cut
down. Conduct a thorough discussion of how they fought non-violently to stop the destruction of
forests with your teacher and among your classmates. Also discuss other such well-known movements
in which demonstrators stood up for the preservation of nature.
2. Create a presentation on 'Vandana Shiva'. Vandana Shiva, an Indian scholar, environmental activist,
and world-renowned author, among other things, has been hailed as one of the leading voices in the
field of green living. Her support for Ecofeminism, a political movement that promotes a collaborative
environmental society—demanding that women be recognised equal and active members—is one of
her most notable achievements. "We are either going to have a future where women lead the way to
make peace with the Earth, or we are not going to have a human future at all," Shiva famously said.
Her published work, including publications such as Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability, and Peace,
would be an excellent starting point for your environmental journey.
