Chipko movement is also called 'Chipko Andolan'.
The movement was started in 1973 at Reni village in the Chamoli district of the Garhwal region in Uttarakhand, then a part of Uttar Pradesh
The Chipko Movement was launched by Chandi Prasad Bhatt and Sunder Lal Bahuguna against large-scale cutting of trees by timber contractors in the Uttarakhand hills.
Sunder Lal Bahuguna has spent a large portion of his life fighting for the preservation of forests in the Himalayas.
Local hill women from villages were organized and made aware of the ecological threats in the hills. They actively participated in the campaign.
They embraced or hugged the trees when the timber contractors reached and forced them to leave.
Due to the participation of local people, it led to the efficient management of forests.
