Chipko movement

The Chipko Movement was an environmental movement started in India in the 1970s that focused on protecting forests and trees. It was started when a group of people, mostly women, hugged trees so that they could protect them from being cut down. By hugging the trees, they were also trying to raise awareness of the importance of protecting forests and trees. This movement has had a huge impact on the environment in India, and has helped to raise awareness of the need to protect our forests and trees.
