#protectourforests — Public Fediverse posts

In 1973, villagers in a Himalayan village made history by hugging trees to stop logging.
The Chipko Movement showed the power of peaceful, community-led action- led largely by women and rooted in respect for nature.
From Uttarakhand to global environmental thought, Chipko reminds us that ordinary people can protect the planet and shape policy.

A funny but powerful contradiction 🌳
A truck carrying cut trees, yet the message says “Plant More Trees.” It makes us smile but also think. Let this remind us: cutting without restoring harms our future. If we must use trees, let’s replace them, protect forests, and act responsibly. The joke becomes a lesson when we choose action over words.

You cannot tame a wild forest, unless you destroy it. Wild forests should be protected & not destroyed. They are not meant to be tamed. They exist for ecological balance & they are large lungs of Mother Earth. They are to be respected & appreciated, for their wildness.

This was the easier section of a rather steep & gnarly #hiking #NatureTrail through the forest towards the ocean.

After a decade, Resolute Forest Product’s multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Greenpeace Canada, speaking out about its logging practices, is over.

But the work is not finished:, another logging giant lurks in the dark, taking over our forests. @paperexcellence has quickly become Canada's biggest logger, managing 22M hectares (~2X size of Newfoundland). @greenpeaceca
