Dear aspirant,

It is important to be aware about our environment and preserve it.

The conservation ethic includes three core principles:

  • They the human activity damaged the environment.
  • It is our civic duty to maintain our environment.
  • Scientific methods should be applied to ensure our duty is carried out.

In India also people played a crucial role in preserving the environment. In India people started various revolutions to preserve the environment and sang various songs and performed acts to make people aware about the environment. Some revolutions started in India are:

  1. Bishnoi Movement: It was started in Rajasthan by Amrita Devi in 1700s. Its aim was to save trees from being cut down by the king's soldiers for a new palace.
  2. Chipko Movement: It was started in 1973 in Chamoli district. It's main leader was Sundarlal Bahuguna. It's aim was to protect the trees on the Himalayan slopes from the axes of contractors of the forest.
  3. Save Silent Valley: It was started in 1978 in Silent Valley. The Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad and Sughatkumari were the main leaders. It's aim was to protect the Silent Valley from being destroyed by a hydroelectric project.
  4. Jungle Bachao Andolan: It was started in 1982 in Singhbhum by the Tribals of Singhbhum. It was against government's decision to replace the natural Sal forest with Teak.
  5. Appiko Movement: It was started in 1983 in Uttar Kannada and Shimoga district. It was not driven by a personality. It's aim was against the felling and commercialization of natural forest and the ruin of ancient livelihood.

Hope this helps.
