The Chipko Movement: Environmental Activism in India

In this episode, we turn our attention to the Chipko Movement, a non-violent social and ecological movement by rural villagers in India, who protected trees by hugging them to prevent deforestation. We'll explore the origins of this unique form of environmental activism, the impact it had on environmental policies in India, and the inspiring stories of the women who were at the forefront of this movement.
