Chipko Andolan (‘Hug the Trees Movement’) was launched by the people of Reni in Garhwal in the early 1970s  and was spread headed by Sunder Lal Bahuguna. The Chipko Andolan was the result of a grassroot level effort to end the alienation of people from forests. The movement originated from a dispute between the local villages and are logging contractor who had been allowed to fell trees in a forest close to the village. On the specific day the forest contractors workers appeared in the forest to cut the trees while the men folk were absent. The woman of the village reached the forest quickly and clasped the tree trunks with their arms , thus preventing the workers from felling the trees. The forest trees  were saved and the  contractor had to withdraw.
