Passage on chipko movement answers |
| Answer» Chipko Movement, started in 1970\'s, was a non violent\xa0movement\xa0aimed at protection and conservation of trees and forests from being destroyed. The name of the\xa0Chipko\xa0moment originated from the word \'embrace\' as the villagers used to hug the trees and protect them from wood cutters from cutting them.\xa0Sunderlal Bahuguna, a noted environmentalist who\xa0initiated\xa0the\xa0Chipko Movement, was born on January 9, 1927. The man who has been fighting for the preservation of forests in the Himalayas celebrates his 90th birthday today.
