Answer 2

Answer:

Chipko Andolan

Chipko Andolan or Chipko Movement was the method started by the villagers in the hills of Uttarakhand to prevent deforestation.

Explanation :

The Chipko Andolan originated in Reni Village of Garhwal in Uttarakhand in 1970. Here the contractors wanted to cut the trees but the women folk of the village hugged the trees to prevent the contractor's workers from cutting trees. Chipko means 'hug'. When the workers came to cut trees, the local folks hugged the trees and prevented them to cut the trees. Hence the movement was called as the Chipko Movement.
