Answer:
In the year 1970, a non violent movement was conducted at Uttar Pradesh whose main aim was to save trees in the forests from destruction.
To save the city from deforestation and spread social awareness, the villagers took the initiative of hugging the trees, or sticking by the side of the tree which was also known as "embracing" , so that the wood cutters refrain from cutting down the trees.
