Chpko movement was started by Sundarala Bahuguna.

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