Environmental Movements in India: Strategies and PracticesRawat Publications, 2005 - 245 páginas "With the increasing population and industrialization, the world is witnessing tremendous pressure on its natural resources. Protection and preservation of the environment has therefore become a prerequisite and integral part of the development process at local, national and global level. All over the world, Environmental Movements (also termed as New Movements) are spreading their wings and rewriting the social and economic history. In India too, people in different parts of the country are organizing themselves into pressure groups and articulating their demands for just and equitable development without undermining their natural support systems. The current volume is aimed at disseminating knowledge and information on some critical issues on the theme of environmental movements, their strategies and practices." |
