Silent Valley Movement
Silent Valley in Kerala has a rich 89 sq. km biological treasure drove in the
vast expanse of tropical virgin forests on the green rolling hills. In 1980s, a 200 MW
hydroelectric dam on the crystal clear river Kunthipuzha under the Kundremukh
project was to come up (Sheth, Pravin 1997: 216). The proposed project was not
ecologically viable, as it would drown a chunk of the valuable rainforest of the valley
and threaten the life of a host of endangered species of both flora and fauna.
the central issue of the Silent Valley
protests included: The protection of the tropical rainforest, maintenance of the
ecological balance……The campaigns and petitions were the main strategies adopted
by the activists in the movement, basing it on the non-violent, Gandhian ideological
orientation…..the protest against the destruction of forest, an opposition to
ecologically unsustainable development, and above all, maintenance of the ecological
balance.
