Answer 1

ANSWER:-

Chipko movement of Bishnoi:

In the 1970s an electric organized resistance to the destruction of forests spread throughout India and came to be known as the Chipko movement.The name of the movement comes from the word 'embrace', as the villagers hugged the trees, and prevented the contractors from felling them.

The last few centuries many communities in India have helped save nature.One such is the Bishnoi community of Rajasthan. The original 'Chipko movement' was started around 260 years back in the early part of the 18th centuy in Rajasthan by this community. A large group of them from 84 villages 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(king) of Jodhpur. After this incident, the maharaja gave a strong royal decree preventing the cutting of trees in all Bishnoi villages.
