History
The Silent Valley's history is intertwined with conservation efforts. In the 1970s, a proposed hydroelectric project threatened to submerge the valley, sparking a fierce environmental movement. Activists, scientists, and concerned citizens rallied to protect this ecological treasure. Their efforts culminated in the cancellation of the project and the declaration of Silent Valley as a National Park in 1984. This landmark victory highlighted the importance of preserving biodiversity and safeguarding natural habitats. Today, the park stands as a symbol of successful conservation and a testament to the power of collective action.
