Скачать или смотреть Untold Story of India's Chipko Movement

🌳 "In the 1970s, illiterate village women wrote history by hugging trees - and changed environmental activism forever!"
The Chipko Movement (literally "to cling") was India's groundbreaking forest conservation protest where Himalayan villagers, led by women, physically embraced trees to stop commercial logging. Here's why it still matters today:

🌿 The Roots of Resistance:
✔ 1973, Uttarakhand: Local communities noticed landslides & floods increasing due to deforestation
✔ Gaura Devi's Leadership: Led 27 women to block loggers in Reni village (1974)
✔ Slogan: "Ecology is permanent economy!"

✊ How They Fought Back:
Non-Violent Protest: Women hugged marked trees, risking their lives

Gandhian Tactics: Sunderlal Bahuguna & Chandi Prasad Bhatt organized marches

Economic Argument: Showed forests were worth more alive than as timber

🏆 The Victory That Changed India:
✔ 1980: UP government banned commercial logging in Himalayas
✔ 1981: Central law prohibited tree-cutting above 1000m elevation
✔ Global Impact: Inspired environmental movements worldwide

💡 Why It Still Matters?
Women-Led: Proved rural women as key environmental protectors
Modern Lessons: #SaveAareyForest & other movements follow its legacy
