[edit] In Serious Need Of Cleanup

This is not my province of expertise, but this article needs thorough, statement-specific citation and removal of POV statements, peacock and weasel words. This group obviously deserves a better article: the term "tree hugger" is now widespread, and hugging or sitting in trees as a protest of logging is iconic of the environmental movement.

the redirect is fine but a cleanup is definetly needed, and a modern usage section written--69.110.129.127 02:27, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Problem

I think an older revision of this article is from this webpage: http://www.american.edu/TED/chipko.htm It is a verbatim copy and I'm not sure if the site gives permission or not. Reverted anyway to a revision that is not controversial. --★Ukdragon37★^talk 15:36, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
