स्पष्टीकरण:
केरल की साइलेंट वैली (शांत घाटी) में कुंतिपुझा नदी पर पनबिजली उत्पादन (Hydroelectric Project) के लिए एक बांध बनाने का प्रस्ताव रखा गया था।
इस परियोजना के कारण वहां के अनूठे और समृद्ध सदाबहार वर्षावनों तथा दुर्लभ वन्यजीवों (जैसे शेर की पूंछ वाले मकाक) के नष्ट होने का बड़ा खतरा उत्पन्न हो गया था।
इसी पर्यावरणीय क्षति के विरोध में देश भर में 'साइलेंट वैली बचाओ' आंदोलन चलाया गया था।
