The Chipko Movement was a nonviolent movement aimed at protection and
conservation of trees and forests from being destroyed. The name of the
Chipko movement originated from the word
'embrace' as the villagers used to hug the trees and protect them from
wood cutters cutting them. It was based on the Gandhian philosophy of
peaceful resistance to achieve the goals. It was a strong uprising
against those people who were destroying the natural resources of the
forests and disturbing the whole ecological balance.
