ANSWER:

In 1731, the king of Jodhpur in Rajasthan asked one of his ministers to arrange wood for constructing a new palace.

The minister and workers went to a forest near a village, inhabited by Bishnois, to cut down trees. The Bishnoi community is known for its peaceful co-existence with nature. The efforts to cut down trees by the king was thwarted by the Bishnoi. A Bishnoi woman Amrita devi showed exemplary courage by hugging a tree and daring king's man to cut her first before cutting the tree. The tree mattered much more than to her than her own life.

Sadly, the king's men did not heed to her pleas, and cut down the tree along with Amrita devi. her three daughters and hundreds of other Bishnoi followed her, and thus lost their lives saving trees.

The Government of India has recently instituted the Amrita devi Bishnoi wildlife protection Award for individuals or communities from rural areas that have shown extraordinary courage and dedicated in protecting wildlife.

This movement is known as Chipko Movement.
