Uttarakhand is well known for its various active social movements. The hills have seen the birth of Chipko, possibly the Third World's best known and studied environmental struggle. Uttarakhandi activists have also sought to combat the precipitous declines in the economic, social, and ecological integrity of the Himalayas with a host of campaigns that have met with varying levels of success.
Collected here are archived materials and links to information sources on these movements, drawn from newspaper articles, web-posted manuscripts, and reports. By gathering them together, this page can hopefully serve as a valuable resource to the activist and academic alike.
