The Khejarli massacre was an event in September 1730 in which 363 Bishnois were killed while trying to peacefully protect a grove of Khejri trees. The soldiers were sent by Maharaja of Marwar to cut the trees in the village of Khejarli to provide wood for a new palace The killings were carried out on the orders of his minister Giridhar Bhandari. The effort had a long term impact on the environmental advocacy, and the massacre later became known as a precursor to the 20th century Chipko movement. This sacrifice for the trees is well stated in the words of Amrita Devi Bishnoi, "Sir santhe runkh rahe, to bhi sasti jaan". The same offer was given by her three daughters and more than 300 bishnois ladies. It was due to this great sacrifice that the ruler took back his earlier order of felling trees.
