Son: Amma, could you help me with this project?
Mother: Why not? What’s the project about?
Son: It’s about the Chipko Movement... I have to make a PowerPoint presentation and talk about it in class.
Mother: Chipko Movement was all about hugging trees to prevent them from being cut...
Son: ...It showed how people can also make a difference.
Mother: The success of the Chipko Movement led to the Appiko Movement.
Son: Really? Doesn’t appiko mean ‘hugging’ in Kannada?
Mother: ...people not only hugged trees but also regenerated forest areas in the Western Ghats.
Son: ...Saalumarada Thimakka... is a Padma Shri awardee.
Mother: ...I’m interested to know what your teacher has shared with you.
Son: She is an Indian environmentalist who has been planting trees since 1948... over 8000 trees...
Mother: ...do you know who the Forest Man of India is?
Son: ...Jadav Payeng... turned barren land... into a lush green forest...
