Answer 2

Answer:

Chipko Movement or Chipko Andolan was started to prevent deforestation. It originated in Reni village of Garhwal, Uttarakhand in 1970. Here the contractors wanted to cut trees but the women folk of the village hugged the trees to prevent the contractors' workers from cutting trees. Chipko means 'hug'. And hence the movement was named as 'Chipko Movement'.

It was started by the women folk of Reni village in Garhwal, Uttarakhand.
