From Chipko to Global Activism

People literally hugged trees to stop them from being cut down. This was the Chipko

movement in India back in 1973, where women led the charge to protect forests in the Himalayas.

This spirit of activism didn't stop there. Another movement, Appiko, followed suit,

all to save trees. Fast forward to today, and you see activists like Greta Thunberg

protesting outside parliaments, demanding action on a global scale. It's not just people

on the streets. Governments have been making laws for decades, and world leaders

gather to sign massive agreements. The fight for our planet has a long history.
