What does Chipko Movement refer to?
The Chipko movement is referred to as “hug the trees movement” or “Chipko andolan”. It was initiated in the early 1970s in a remote village (Reni) of Garhwal. Here, the women of the village literally hugged the tree trunks to prevent them from being cut. This non-violent, social and ecological movement aimed at protecting trees and forests.
