SPEAKER_06: ["The Super Chewer is a documentary series about women fighting for conservation and ecological justice." This month, we are highlighting eco-warriors, women fighting for conservation and ecological justice. Woo-hoo! Today's womannequin organized the women in her community to protect their environment and their heritage. Though her name has little to no meaning, she is a womannequin. She is a womannequin. She is a womannequin. She is a womannequin. Though her name has largely remained unknown, she contributed to a powerful example of eco-feminist organizing. Please welcome Gaara Davy. Gaara Davy was born in 1925 in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand. The area is marked by the high peaks and low valleys of the Himalayas. Her family worked in the wool trade, and she was trained in it before she married at a young age. By the time she was 22, Gaara was a widow and the mother of a two-and-a-half-year-old child. She continued working in the wool trade to support her family. In 1962, the Sino-Indian War broke out. Contesting the border region of the Himalayas. Once it ended, the region saw a great increase in development, aided in part by infrastructure built during the conflict.
SPEAKER_06: Foreign logging companies wanted access to the Himalayan region's rich forests. Local villagers were dependent on these forests and tended to them. When the government gave the logging companies access, it also denied villagers the right to any lumber or to manage the lands. And as a result, loggers clear-cut forests, causing erosion and flooding. Slowly, villagers began to rise up throughout the region in a non-violent wave that would come to be known as the Chipko movement. The Hindi word, chipko, means to hug or to cling to, because that was the main strategy villagers used to stop loggers from cutting down their trees. Essentially, they were tree-huggers. Gara was already involved in her community, but she became inspired by the movement and led campaigns to spread awareness about the importance of forests. Gara's real moment came in 1974. The state had authorized commercial loggers to cut down 2,500 trees in the area. Villagers in the surrounding area held rallies and peaceful demonstrations and public meetings to protest the impending deforestation. But the state had a plan. They lured the men of the Rennie village away to another village under the false pretense of work and compensation, hoping that with them gone, there would be less resistance when contractors and loggers came. With the men gone, the loggers began amassing near the village. What they didn't expect was a young girl. The girl saw them and hurried to tell Gara all about it. When the officials and loggers arrived, they found Gara Davy and two dozen other women she had quickly recruited to protect the trees. They stood there, hugging the trees, and didn't move. Even when the officials hurled insults and abuse at them, even when they pulled out weapons, the contractors decided to wait until the women got tired. It took four days, but finally the contractors gave up and left. Gara had protected 2,500 trees from being cut and shortly after had attracted a lot of attention doing so. Most importantly, the action led to the state government issuing a ban on commercial deforestation in the area which lasted for 10 years. Gara's action also pushed the CHIPCO movement even further and led to policy changes. It became solidified as a peasant and women's movement, which continued protesting environmental destruction for decades. Gara also continued to organize women for protests and rallies after the incident. Though the CHIPCO movement became lauded and key in the understanding of environmental resistance in India and around the world, Gara Davy's name remained largely forgotten. Gara passed away at the age of 66. All month, we are talking about eco-warriors. For more information, find us on Facebook and Instagram at Womanika Podcast.
