Question

"Development mostly causes degradation of environment." Justify the statement referring to two environmental movements.

Answer 1

1. Environmental degradation has been a "common concern" for humanity during the past few decades. Development and heedless consumption are causing harmful effects on Mother Nature.
2. In any case, the pace and drive for economic progress have never slowed. Environmental policy has been dictated by economics. Our mother Earth is dying due to its risky, careless, unthinkable, and ongoing causes in modern times. Environmental degradation is caused by unchecked greed and the desire for further economic expansion or development.

The environmental movements are as follows:

1. A vast network of people and organizations in the Philippines battled against the Western Mining Corporation (WMC), an Australian multinational corporation. In Australia, vehement resistance to the firm is based on anti-nuclear views and support for the fundamental rights of Australian indigenous peoples.

2. A different collection is making efforts to stop mega dam of movements. Environmental movements are opposed to the construction of mega dams in every nation. In essence, anti-dam activities support river management that is "more equitable and sustainable" for river systems and valleys. Among these movements, "The Narmada Bachao Andolan" is the most well-known.
