Answer 1

Explanation:

Chipko movement, also called Chipko andolan, nonviolent social and ecological movement by rural villagers, particularly women, in the 1970s, aimed at protecting trees and forests slated for government-backed logging. The movement originated in the Himalayan region of Uttrakhand in 1973 and quickly spread throughout the Indian Himalayas The Hindi word chipko means “to hug” or “to cling to” and reflects the demonstrators’ primary tactic of embracing the trees to impede the loggers.
