      Your knowledge of the topic is fine, examples and issues mentioned are appropriate, however, there could be some improvement in presentation.
      Introduction is fine, after that you can integrate your examples with issues rather than writing the examples separately. For example, in issue of destruction of livelihood, you can mention examples like movement against development projects such as Narmada Dam, Tehri dam etc.
      In this way you can address multiple issues like – demand for control over resources ( trigger for Chipko movement was allowing a private company for logging) ; movement because of cultural and religious beliefs (protection of sacred groves) ; movements due to unfair rehabilitation and compensation; movements due to gender justice because women face incommensurate impact of harms to environment ( Gaura Devi mobilized housewives during Chipko movement) etc
      After that a short section on suggestions such as need of social impact assessment, participatory and community-based management of resources, full compliance of environmental norms etc can also be mentioned.
      Conclusion is fine.
      Keep practicing. 🙂
