This interview with Vimla Bahuguna touches on the Chipko Movement in India and how ecofeminism came to be today
The Chipko Movement (1973)
Here’s a very short description of the Chipko Movement, based on the Article-14 piece:
The Chipko Movement, started in 1973 in India’s Uttarakhand region, was a nonviolent environmental movement where villagers and women hugged trees to stop deforestation. Led by Sunderlal and Vimla Bahuguna, it grew into a symbol of grassroots resistance against ecological destruction and emphasized the idea that protecting forests is essential for sustainable living.
