Answer 1

Answer:

People's movement against environmental degredation

Explanation:

It is very important to be aware about your environment and make efforts to preserve it.

Even in world history there have been cases where people made efforts to conserve environment.

The conservation ethic that began to evolve included three core principles: that the human activity damaged the environment, that there was a civic duty to maintain the environment for future generations, and that scientific, empirically based methods should be applied to ensure this duty was carried out. James Ranald Martin was prominent in promoting this ideology, publishing many medico-topographical reports that demonstrated the scale of damage wrought through large-scale deforestation and desiccation, and lobbying extensively for the institutionalization of forest conservation activities in British India through the establishment of Forest Departments.The Madras Board of Revenue started local conservation efforts in 1842, headed by Alexander Gibson, a professional botanist who systematically adopted a forest conservation program based on scientific principles.

Answer 2

Now a days, there are many movements done by the people in India against environmental degradation.

Explanation:

Take the case of chipko movement. In chipko movement, large population of people grab trees for long time to stop the cutting of trees. As, trees are very valuable part of an ecosystem. They are the home of many animals and birds. They rely on them for their food and feeding stuff.

This movement is started in Uttarakhand because the rate of cutting of trees in Uttarakhand is too high at that time. It was started on 26 march 1974.

This movement results in showing the truth of cutting trees in the whole world.
