Amazing women: The girl on the tree [ Mujeres extraordinarias: la chica en el árbol ]

Extraordinary women abound in history, sometimes they are more or less famous and sometimes they are anonymous.

Although this is not the case of Julia Butterfly Hill, I believe she is less known than she deserves.

This incredible woman, when she was just 23 years old, decided to fight a David versus Goliath battle.

Single-handedly, she decided to save a redwood forest thousands of years old from being cut down and turned into chairs.

So she climbed to the top of a tree, and stayed up there for 2 years, without coming down at all.

At 55 meters she endured hurricanes, rain, wind and harassment from the logging company that sent helicopters and men to harass her to get her to come down from Luna.

Luna was the name she chose for the sequoia that served as her home as if she were a little bird, and whom she managed to save with her peaceful and solitary protest.

Julia Butterfly Hill showed the world that sometimes a single person can make a difference if they are strong enough to fight for their ideals.

Abundan mujeres extraordinarias en la historia, a veces son más o menos famosas y algunas otras, son anónimas.

Aunque éste no sea el caso de Julia Butterfly Hill, creo que se la conoce menos de lo que amerita.

Esta increíble mujer, cuando tenía apenas 23 años, decidió luchar una batalla de David contra Goliath.

Ella sola, decidió salvar un bosque de secuoyas de miles de años de ser talados y convertidos en sillas.

Así es que subió a lo alto de un árbol, y se quedó a vivir allí arriba por 2 años, sin bajar en absoluto.

A 55 metros de altura soportó huracanes, lluvia, viento y acoso por parte de la empresa maderera que enviaba helicópteros y hombres para hostigarla y lograr que bajara de Luna.

Luna fue el nombre que eligió para la secuoya que le sirvió de hogar como si fuera un pajarito, y a quien logró salvar con su protesta pacífica y solitaria.

Julia Butterfly Hill demostró al mundo que a veces una sola persona sí puede hacer la diferencia si tiene la suficiente fuerza para luchar por sus ideales.

I heard of this amazing woman and her fascinating battle to preserve these trees, and could you please cite the source of your picture? Thanks @ladyaryastark 💚

Hello dear, I already knew this woman yesterday and I think she did a fascinating battle and deserves that everyone who loves nature know her history.

Sorry for forget to put the images sources, I took the pic from this article https://www.comune.rivadelgarda.tn.it/Notizie-ed-eventi/Archivio-delle-notizie/Julia-Butterfly-Hill-e-l-utopia-degli-alberi

Hay personas así, especiales, únicas y que sí cambian el mundo. Más debería haber... más deberíamos ser. Bonita historia 😊
