In the 1970s, The Chipko movement was taken place in the northern Himalayan segment of Uttar Pradesh. Where it started, that well-known area names as Uttarakhand.
The Chipko movement name comes from the word meaning “Embrace”. It is the significant meaning, which describes that how much village people loves and hug to the trees.
It is most important for the villagers to save the trees from felling. It interposes their bodies between them and the contractor’s axes.
The Chipko protests in Uttar Pradesh achieved a major victory in 1980 with a 15-year ban on green felling in the Himalayan forests of that state by order of Mrs Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India. Since then, the movement has spread to many countries in the country.
In addition to the 15-year ban in Uttar Pradesh, felling in the Western Ghats and the Vindhyas has stopped.
It has also generated pressure for a natural resource policy that is more sensitive to peoples, needs and ecological requirements.
