Answer:
Explanation:
(i) In the 1970s, an opposition to the destruction of
forests spread throughout India and came to be
known as the Chipko movement.
(ii) The name of the movement comes from the word
‘embrace’ as the villagers hugged the trees and
prevented the contractors from felling them.
(iii) Many communities in India have helped save
nature. One such is the Bishnoi community of
Rajasthan.
(iv) The original chipko movement was started
around 260 years back in Rajasthan by this
community. A large group of villagers led by a
lady called Amrita Devi laid down their lives in
an effort to protect the trees from being felled on
the orders of the Maharaja of Jodhpur.
