What is Chipko and Appiko Movements Overview about?
The Chipko Movement, initiated in the 1970s in Uttarakhand, India, is a non-violent ecological movement where villagers, particularly women, hugged trees to prevent deforestation. Triggered by government decisions to allocate forest land to a sports goods company, it became a significant environmental movement globally. Inspired by Chipko, the Appiko Movement in Karnataka aimed to protect tropical forests and led to changes in forest policy, including bans on clear felling and logging concessions.
