Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1.

Trace the childhood experiences that shaped the author’s interest in ecology.

Answer:

Vandana Shiva’s father was a conservator of forests in the Himalaya region. This implies that she lived and was brought up in forest surroundings. Hence she declares that whatever she knows about ecology was learned from the Himalayan forests and eco-systems. Her mother was a farmer and she used to compose songs and poems about trees, forests and India’s forest civilizations. Thus, her parents and their profession undoubtedly shaped the author’s interest in ecology.
