The Chipko movement, which was born out of a worrisome rise in deforestation when mechanized agriculture and industries were introduced to the area, works to stop deforestation and develop ecological consciousness in India.
The Chipko movement, also known as the Chipko Andolan, was a peaceful social and ecological movement formed by rural Indian peasants, notably women, in the 1970s with the goal of defending woods and trees that were to be cut down by the government.
