'Aversion Of Ecological Damage By Promoting Traditional Handicrafts'

Abstract

     Environment and in a larger perspective ecology has been facing serious threats from different quarters in different parts of the world and in the name of development, enough damage has already been done to it. However, in reaction, there have been various kinds of protests by people at the grassroots level across the globe. Similarly at the global level several environmental non­governmental (NGOs) have taken up significant ecological issues like pollution, bio-diversity, climate change, the hole in the ozone layer, animal rights and wildlife and biosphere conservation. 1. Various international agencies like the United Nations, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development and the United Nations Development Programme have from time to time organized several conventions and conferences in order to deliberate upon environmental issues and generate awareness amongst both the people as well as national government.

    In addition, various national government and their provincial counterparts have also realized these, and other problems, and have opened full-fledged ministries or departments. In the arena of academics too, new centers, institute and university departments have been opened to study environmental issues and concerns in greater range and depth. The most disastrous environmental effects have been observed mostly in the developing world but in different ways from the western apprehensions and environmental issues are no more a western fad only for the elite.
