Answer: Amrita Devi Bishnoi.
Explanation:
Amrita Devi Bishnoi was the leader of the Khejarali movement.
Khejarali is a village in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, India. The name of the village is derived from the Khejri trees.
Amrita Devi Bishnoi sacrificed her life along with her three daughters during 1730, in order to save the green trees, Khejri from being cut down by the Maharaja of Jodhpur, Abhay Singh. The Maharaja wanted to cut them for constructing his new palace.
However she and her daughters met a dreadful end to their life when their heads were severed by the axes which were procured to cut the trees. Around 363 Bishnoi laid down their life to save the Khejris , which was regarded sacred in their religion. This movement was known as Khejarali movement.
Hope this helps.
