If the environment is an essential part of the human way of life, then its protection and preservation become a paramount duty of humanity. Environmental protection has become an extremely important issue for human life. Numerous efforts and movements are continuously underway in this direction, both at the global and Indian levels. The role of women in environmental protection is significant. Women have contributed to saving the environment. Women have been advocates of environmental protection since the Vedic period. Examples include the worship of the Tulsi plant and the Banyan tree. Indian women have always been active in this area. Looking at our Indian culture, we see awareness of environmental protection reflected in our customs and traditions. Indian women have always been ahead of men in environmental protection, as evidenced by studying various environmental protection movements. Women have participated in many movements to protect the environment and forests, playing a leading role and even sacrificing their lives. Karl Marx stated that "no major social change in the world can happen without women." Therefore, women have always championed environmental protection.
