From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chipko movement (literally "to stick" in Hindi) was a group of female peasants in the Uttaranchal region of India who acted to prevent the cutting of trees and reclaim their traditional forest rights that were threatened by the contractor system of the state Forest Department. The movement began in Chamoli district in 1973 and spread throughout the Uttaranchal Himalayas by the end of the decade. In Tehri district, Chipko activists would go on to protest limestone mining in the Dehra Dun hills in the 1980s as well as the Tehri dam, before founding the Beej Bachao Andolan or Save the Seeds movement that continues to the present day. In Kumaon region, Chipko took on a more radical hue, combining with the general movement for a separate Uttaranchal state. [1] One of Chipko's most salient features was the mass participation of women villagers. [2] As the backbone of Uttaranchal's agrarian economy, women were most directly affected by environmental Villagers surrounding a tree to degradation and deforestation, and thus connected the issues most stop them from being felled easily. How much this participation impacted or derived from the ideology of Chipko, has been fiercely debated in academic circles. [3] Despite this, both female and male activists did play pivotal roles in the movement including Gaura Devi, Sudesha Devi, Bachni Devi, Chandi Prasad Bhatt, Sundarlal Bahuguna, Govind Singh Rawat, Dhoom Singh Negi and Shamsher Singh Bisht.
Chipko Slogans "What do the forests bear? soil, water and pure air." "Embrace the trees and Save them from being felled; The property of our hills, Save them from being looted."
and, "Ecology is permanent economy."
