Answer 2

Answer:

The Chipko movement, also known as the Chipko andolan, was a peaceful social and ecological movement started by rural Indian peasants, especially women, in the 1970s with the goal of defending woods and trees that were to be cut down by the government.

Explanation:

• The Chipko Movement, which was an uprising against those responsible for disrupting ecological equilibrium, adhered to Gandhi's ideal of nonviolent resistance.
• Sunderlal Bahuguna, a supporter of Gandhi, gave the movement direction, and his plea to Indira Gandhi, India's then-prime minister, led to the prohibition of chopping down trees.  
• The phrase "embrace" is where the name "Chipko Moment" comes from, since the locals used to hug the trees to keep wood cutters from chopping them.
• A government decision to provide forest property to a sports goods corporation served as the impetus for the Chipko Movement.
• 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.
