Environmental Movements: One or Many?
- Environmental Movements: Around the world, groups of volunteers who care about the environment lead these movements. While a few operate on a global scale, the majority operate on a local level.
- There are a lot of demands on the forest movements in the southern countries of Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Malaysia, Indonesia, Continental Africa, and India.
- The movements opposed to mega-dams are another kind of movement. An environmental movement is probably against building mega-dams in any nation where they are proposed.
- The first anti-dam movement in the North was started in the early 1980s; it was an Australian campaign to safeguard the Franklin River and the woods that surround it. India has produced some of the most influential pro-river and anti-dam groups. Movements like the Narmada Bachao Andolan are one example of this kind.
