The environment plays a vital role in human living. The environment comprises of all the natural resources such as air water, land, forests, and minerals. It is responsibility of populace to protect the natural resources. Nonetheless, due to technical advancement and other reasons, there is a lot of misuse of these natural resources, in the form of land degradation, water pollution, air pollution, and deforestation. All these factors lead to worsening of environment. Great efforts are being made in order to regain the environment by people through voluntary organizations, which have concerns about the environment. There are cases where people have revoked and adopted non-violent action movements to protect their environment (Arne Kalland, Gerard Persoon, 2013).

A Brief Overview on Social Forestry Issues of MyanmarCIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation, given at the ASFN 6th conference at Inle Lake in June 2015, provides a framework for discussion and further research for the promotion and development of social forestry on a large scale.
Rising human populations are largely responsible for the environmental degradation that ecological restoration seeks to repair.
the discipline of ecological restoration is likely to face its greatest challenges at a time when human capital and economic resources will be inadequate for the scale of the problem.
Restoration of damaged ecosystems is receiving increasing attention worldwide as awareness increases that humanity must sustain ecosystem structure, functioning, and diversity for its own wellbeing.
Restoration rebuilds an ecosystem little different than the pristine ecosystem that was degraded. It is done to the physical environment and to plants in restoration.
Definition of ecosystem restoration: ‘the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed’.
, there are many approaches to restoration, and the choice of approach should arguably be based on –
1. which is most appropriate given the objectives.
2. which provides the greatest likelihood of success.
These efforts may be conducted on either a small-scale (e.g., tree planting) or
May involve major human and technical efforts (e.g., re-creation of wetlands, acid lake neutralization).
Principles For Restoration
KEY ACTIVITIES FOR ECOSYTEM RESTORSTION
Chipko Movement, One of the most important Environmental moveent in India that led to save many trees in India. But still people cut trees due to many reasons even if at some places it is illegal. it is the duty of all our citizen who love environment to stand against it and start awareness of not cutting trees.
This power point presentation can be used to inculcate in students a love for trees and to encourage them to empathize with people who protest against the cutting of trees.
In this presentation Environmental laws of India has been described. It contains Wildlife act, Water act, Forest conversation act, Protection act, Air act and ISO 14000 environment standards.
It is my very pleasure to publish a slide on the World forest day. I have seen if there are any slides based on the world forest day. But, I have found only something on it. So hope that you will be benefited.

Paper presented at National Seminar on ‘Social Movements in Contemporary India’ by Centre for Social Development, Delhi on 15-16. July 2010
Introduction
In India, the last quarter of the 20th century has been witness to a growing recognition of the place and relevance of human rights due to pressure from various social movements. It is axiomatic that this interest in human rights is rooted in the denial of life and liberty that was a pervasive aspect of the Emergency (1975-77). The mass arrests of the leaders of the opposition and the targeted apprehension of those who could present a challenge to an authoritarian state are one of the dominant images that have survived. The involuntary disappearance of Rajan in Kerala is more than a symbol of the excesses of unbridled power. Forced evictions carried out in Delhi in what is known as ‘Turkman Gate’ conjures up visions of large scale razing of dwellings of those without economic clout, and of their displacement into what were the outlying areas of the city. The catastrophic programme of barbaric mass sterilisation is an indelible part of emergency memory. The civil liberties movement was a product of the emergency. Arbitrary detention, custodial violence, prisons and the use of the judicial process were on the agenda of the civil liberties movement. For past 3 decades, Peasant movements, tribal movements, dalit movements, backward caste movements, women's movements, working class movements, students' movements, middle class movements and environmental movements have highlighted human rights concerns (Shah, 2004).

Electoral and political reforms are urgently needed to reserve politics only to perfectionists who intend to dedicate their whole time and energy to serve the people of the country round the clock. It is imperative to consider these new political and electoral reforms for better, healthy and improved democracy to remove corruption, inequalities, unemployment and mis-governance. Varma’s political and electoral reforms are aimed at empowering under privileged, working class, rural and urban areas.

Chipko movement was a non-violent agitation in 1973 that was aimed at protection and conservation of trees, but, perhaps, it is best remembered for the collective mobilisation of women for the cause of preserving forests, which also brought about a change in attitude regarding their own status in society.
IN 1973 THE PLANNING COMMISION FORMALLY APPROVED THE SILENT VALLEY HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT.
MOVEMENT STARTED IN 1973 TO PROTECT RESERVE FOREST FROM BEING AFECTED BY A HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT.
KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD HAD TO SLACKEN THE WORK ON THE PROJECT DUE TO CONSTRUCTION OF IDUKKI HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT.
IN APRIL 1976-NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING STUDIED FEASIBILITY OF HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT.
THE TASK FORCE SUGGESTED THAT PROJECT SHOULD BE ABANDONED AND THE VALLEY TO BE DECLARED A BIOSPHERE RESERVED AREA.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. An environmental movement can be
defined as a social or political
movement, for the conservation of
environment or for the improvement
of the state of the environment .
4. THE BISHNOIS, A SMALL COMMUNITY IN RAJASTHAN, VALUE
THEIR TREES AND WILDLIFE AS MUCH
AS THEIR LIVES. FOLLOWING ONE OF THE 29 RULES GIVEN BY
THEIR GURU, THE BISHNOIS WOULD DO
ANYTHING TO PREVENT THE DESTRUCTION OF TREES BY
HUMAN BEINGS, INCLUDING HUGGING THE TREES
IF THEY ARE THREATENED IN ANY WAY; THE DESTROYER
CANNOT CUT THE TREES WITHOUT CUTTING THESE
HUMAN BODIES. AMRITA DEVI, A FEMALE VILLAGER HUGGED
THE TREES AND ENCOURAGED OTHERS TO DO THE SAME. 363
BISHNOI VILLAGERS WERE KILLED IN THIS MOVEMENT.
BISHNOI MOVEMENT – 1700s
5. CHIPCO MOVEMENT- 1973
MR. BAHUGUNA ENLIGHTENED THE VILLAGERS BY CONVEYING
THE OF THE FORESTS (ESPECIALLY THE RIGHT TO FODDER) SHOULD
GO TO LOCAL PEOPLE. THE CHIPKO MOVEMENT GATHERED
MOMENTUM IN 1978 WHEN THE WOMEN FACED POLICE FIRINGS
AND OTHER TORTURES. THEN THE STATE CHIEF MINISTER,
HEMWATI NANDAN BAHUGUNA SET UP A COMMITTEE TO LOOK
INTO THE MATTER, WHICH EVENTUALLY RULED IN FAVOR OF THE
VILLAGERS. IMPORTANCE OF TREES IN THE ENVIRONMENT WHICH
CHECKS THE EROSION OF SOIL, CAUSE RAINS AND PROVIDES PURE
AIR. THE WOMEN OF ADVANI VILLAGE OF TEHRI-GARHWAL TIED
THE SACRED THREAD AROUND TRUNKS OF TREES AND THEY
HUGGED THE TREES, HENCE IT WAS CALLED ‘CHIPKO MOVEMENT’
OR ‘HUG THE TREE MOVEMENT’. THE MAIN DEMAND OF THE
PEOPLE IN THESE PROTESTS WAS THAT THE BENEFITS
6. SAVE SILENT VALLEY MOVEMENT- 1978
THE KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD (KSEB) PROPOSED A
HYDROELECTRIC DAM ACROSS THE KUNTHIPUZHA RIVER THAT
RUNS THROUGH SILENT VALLEY. IN FEBRUARY 1973, THE
PLANNING COMMISSION APPROVED THE PROJECT AT A COST
OF ABOUT RS 25 CRORES. MANY FEARED THAT THE PROJECT
WOULD SUBMERGE 8.3 SQ KM OF UNTOUCHED MOIST
EVERGREEN FOREST. SEVERAL NGOs STRONGLY OPPOSED THE
PROJECT AND URGED THE GOVERNMENT TO ABANDON IT. IN
JANUARY 1981, BOWING TO UNRELENTING PUBLIC PRESSURE,
INDIRA GANDHI DECLARED THAT SILENT VALLEY WILL BE
PROTECTED.
7. JUNGLE BACHAO ANDHOLAN -1982
THE TRIBALS OF SINGHBHUM DISTRICT OF BIHAR
STARTED THE PROTEST WHEN THE GOVERNMENT
DECIDED TO REPLACE THE NATURAL SAL FORESTS WITH
THE HIGHLY-PRICED TEAK. THIS MOVE WAS CALLED BY
MANY AS “GREED GAME POLITICAL POPULISM”. LATER
THIS MOVEMENT SPREAD TO JHARKHAND AND ORISSA.
8. APPIKO MOVEMENT- 1983
IT CAN BE SAID THAT APPIKO MOVEMENT IS THE
SOUTHERN VERSION OF THE CHIPKO MOVEMENT. THE
LOCALS EMBRACED THE TREES WHICH WERE TO BE
FELLED BY CONTRACTORS OF THE FOREST
DEPARTMENT. THE APPIKO MOVEMENT USED VARIOUS
TECHNIQUES TO RAISE AWARENESS SUCH AS FOOT
MARCHES IN THE INTERIOR FOREST, SLIDE SHOWS,
FOLK DANCES, STREET PLAYS ETC. THE SECOND AREA OF
THE MOVEMENT’S WORK WAS TO PROMOTE
AFFORESTATION ON DENUDED LANDS. THE MOVEMENT
LATER FOCUSED ON THE RATIONAL USE OF ECOSPHERE
THROUGH INTRODUCING ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
RESOURCES TO REDUCE PRESSURE ON THE FOREST.
THE MOVEMENT BECAME A SUCCESS
9. NARMADA BACHAO ANDHOLAN - 1985
THE MOVEMENT FIRST STARTED AS A PROTEST FOR NOT
PROVIDING PROPER REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DISPLACED BY THE
CONSTRUCTION OF SARDAR SAROVAR DAM. LATER ON, THE
MOVEMENT TURNED ITS FOCUS ON THE PRESERVATION OF
THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE ECO-SYSTEMS OF THE VALLEY.
ACTIVISTS ALSO DEMANDED THE HEIGHT OF THE DAM TO BE
REDUCED TO 88 M FROM THE PROPOSED HEIGHT OF 130M.
WORLD BANK WITHDREW FROM THE PROJECT.
10. TEHRI DAM CONFLICT- 1990s
TEHRI DAM ATTRACTED NATIONAL ATTENTION IN THE
1980S AND THE 1990S. THE MAJOR OBJECTIONS INCLUDE,
SEISMIC SENSITIVITY OF THE REGION, SUBMERGENCE OF
FOREST AREAS ALONG WITH TEHRI TOWN ETC. DESPITE
THE SUPPORT FROM OTHER PROMINENT LEADERS LIKE
SUNDERLAL BAHUGUNA, THE MOVEMENT HAS FAILED TO
GATHER ENOUGH POPULAR SUPPORT AT NATIONAL
AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL LEVELS.
