Answer 2

Explanation:

Chipko Movement, started in 1970's, was a non violent movement aimed at protection and conservation of trees and forests from being destroyed. The name of the Chipko moment originated from the word 'embrace' as the villagers used to hug the trees and protect them from wood cutters from cutting them.

The Chipko Movement, which started in April 1973 in a village in Uttarakhand (then part of Uttar Pradesh), was inspired from the Rajasthani movement. The movement got its name due to peoples' action of hugging trees in order to prevent them from being chopped. Chipko is derived from a Hindi word that means to stick.

Chipko movement, also called Chipko andolan, nonviolent social and ecological movement by rural villagers, particularly women, in India in the 1970s, aimed at protecting trees and forests slated for government-backed logging.

The name of the movement comes from the word 'Embrace', as the villagers hugged the trees, and prevented the contractors' from felling them. The main aim of the Chipko Movement or Chipko Andolan was to protect the trees of the forests to be cut. It was basically a forest conservation movement.
