Women in the Himalayas use Chipko tree-hugs and lantern protests to link deforestation with landslides and vanishing springs; a seed-saving network called Navdanya seed bank preserves 4,000 rice varieties and tests 200 of them, finding 146% more calories, 135% more iron, 169% more manganese and 80% more zinc than modern monocultures.
