THE CHIPKO MOVEMENT (BANJ OAK)

Written By Alex Crowson
 

In the second part of our eco-feminism series, we discuss the Chipko movement, a practical manifestation of eco-feminist ideologies out of India. Author/activist Vandana Shiva makes an appearance, as does the Banj oak (Quercus leucotrichophora). Then, we play a medieval edition of the Slang Game.

Completely Arbortrary is produced and hosted by Casey Clapp and Alex Crowson
