Chipko Movement: Chipko movement (Hug the Trees Movement) was an organised resistance to the destruction of forests. It started in 1974 in Reni village of Garhwal. A contractor was allowed to cut trees in a forest near the village. When the contractor’s workers appeared, the women of the village reached the forest quickly and clasped the tree trunks with their arms, preventing the workers from cutting down the trees. Mr. Sunder Lal Bahuguna, a Gandhian activist and philosopher was the leader of Chipko Movement.
