CHIPKO ANDOLAN – a movement of village women A key example of an ecofeminist movement is the Chipko Andolan in India in early 1973. Chipko was a forest conservation movement in India led by both male and female activists and leaders such as Indian environmentalists, Chandi Prasat Bhatt and Sunderlal Bahuguna, and the indigenous women of the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand in the Chamoli district, then part of Uttar Pradesh.

The story of the Chipko movement in 1973 follows how a contractor was given the right from the state to fell trees for a sports manufacturing company. The area, already denuded, was subjected to landslides and floods due to rapid deforestation from commercial logging. Women also had to trek further for fuel, fodder, and water.

When the loggers arrived at the village, they were met by the womenfolk who formed a circle around the trees, linked arms, and embraced the trees to prevent the men from cutting them down.

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.

The Chipko movement (Hindi: चिपको आन्दोलन, lit. 'hugging movement') is a forest conservation movement in India. Opposed to commercial logging and the government's policies on deforestation, protestors in the 1970s engaged in tree hugging, wrapping their arms around trees so that they could not be felled.

Sunderlal Bahuguna, Chipko movement leader

“ In a lecture on a college campus some years back, I gave examples of activities being undertaken in defense of life on Earth—actions in which people risk their comfort and even their lives to protect other species.

In the Chipko or tree-hugging movement in north India, for example, villagers protect their remaining woodlands from ax and bulldozer by interposing their bodies.

On the open seas, Greenpeace activists intervene to protect marine mammals from slaughter. After that talk, I received a letter from a student I’ll call Michael. He wrote:

I think of the tree-huggers hugging my trunk, blocking the chain saws with their bodies. I feel their fingers digging into my bark to stop the steel and let me breathe. I hear the bodhisattvas in their rubber boats as they put themselves between the harpoons and me, so I can escape to the depths of the sea. I give thanks for your life and mine, and for life itself. I give thanks for realizing that I too have the powers of the tree-huggers and the bodhisattvas.

What is most striking about Michael’s words is the shift in identification. Michael is able to extend his sense of self to encompass the self of the tree and of the whale. Tree and whale are no longer removed, separate, disposable objects pertaining to a world out there; they are intrinsic to his own vitality. Through the power of his caring, his experience of self is expanded far beyond that skin-encapsulated ego. I quote Michael’s words not because they are unusual, but to the contrary, because they express a desire and a capacity that is being released from the prison-cell of old constructs of self. This desire and capacity are arising in more and more people today, out of deep concern for what is happening to our world, as they begin to speak and act on its behalf. ”

- from Joanna Macy's essay in Spiritual Ecology: Cry of the Earth

Title: The Chipko Movement: A Grassroots Movement for Water Conservation

Introduction:

The Chipko Movement was a non-violent environmental movement that took place in India in the 1970s and 1980s. The movement was started by local villagers who were protesting against the government's decision to allow timber companies to cut down forests in the Himalayas. The villagers believed that the forests were essential for water conservation and flood control.

Historical Context:

In the 1970s and 1980s, India was facing a number of environmental challenges, including deforestation, soil erosion, and water shortages. The government's decision to allow timber companies to cut down forests in the Himalayas exacerbated these challenges.

Key Figures and Actions:

One key figure in the Chipko Movement was Gaura Devi. Devi was a villager who led a protest against the cutting down of ash trees in her village. She hugged a tree to prevent the timber workers from cutting it down. Devi's actions inspired other villagers to join the movement.

Another key figure in the Chipko Movement was Sunderlal Bahuguna. Bahuguna was a Gandhian environmentalist who helped to organize the movement. He traveled throughout India to raise awareness about the importance of forests and water conservation.

Outcomes and Impact:

The Chipko Movement was successful in saving millions of trees. It also led to a number of changes in government policy, including a ban on logging in the Himalayas. The Chipko Movement also inspired other environmental movements around the world.

Relevance to Contemporary Issues:

The Chipko Movement is a reminder of the importance of grassroots activism and the power of people to protect the environment

"You know that power comes from the Almighty. When you surrender yourself to Him, He will show you the way. And three things I believe. The first, you should have devotion. Devotion to the Almighty, devotion to the people. I see Him [the Almighty] everywhere. I see Him in you, yourself, also. I see Him in trees. I see Him in rivers, mountains, everywhere. He is everywhere, omnipotent. Omnipresent. So, the first thing is that we should have devotion. The second thing is dedication – dedication for a cause. If you realize that Almighty is everywhere and He is being hurt, then we should dedicate ourselves for a service. And the third thing is determination."
