#ChipkoMovement

[chibidraws]

On #WorldEnvironmentDay, I return to my roots, quite literally. The Chipko resistance (1973), a grassroots movement led by Vimala Bahuguna and her husband, saw women cling fiercely to trees to protect them from rampant logging. Evidently, It was the women, deeply in touch with the forest through their daily lives of gathering firewood, fodder, and water, who were the first to rise against commercial deforestation. Bahuguna, being a Gandhian activist, infused the spirit of feminism and civil disobedience in the movement. Waves of women and young girls ran to encircle trees, arms linked in steely defiance, turning the act of hugging into a symbol of protection and protest. The movement began in my ancestral homeland of Chamoli, and I can vouch for the women-led ethos of the himalayan range to this day. Every time I see those old sepia-toned photos, I can't help seeing my grandmothers—the same folds in their sarees, the same strength in their eyes.

Sarala Behn.

Sarala Behn (born Catherine Mary Heilman; 5 April 1901 – 8 July 1982) was an English Gandhian social activist whose work in the Kumaon region of Uttarakhand, India helped create awareness about the environmental destruction in the Himalayan forests of the state. She played a key role in the evolution of the Chipko Movement and influenced a number of Gandhian environmentalists in India including Chandi Prasad Bhatt, Bimala behn and Sunderlal Bahuguna. Along with Mirabehn, she is known as one of Mahatma Gandhi's two English daughters. The two women's work in Garhwal and Kumaon, respectively, played a key role in bringing focus on issues of environmental degradation and conservation in independent India.

Why the Chipko Movement is more important than ever.

Why the Chipko Movement is more important than ever.

The Chipko movement is a forest conservation movement that began in India, 1973. It pioneered many environmental changes that we have today. The Chipko movement arose in a time when there were few or no major environmental groups in India. At the start of the Chipko movement, it practised the Gandhian methods of Satyagraha. Since then it has become more of an eco-feminist orientated campaign.…
