The movement which was started in Reni village in Garhwal to protect the trees by hugging them and not allowing cutting of these trees was called Chipko Andolan. The Chipko movement quickly spread across communities and media, and forced the government, to whom the forest belongs, to rethink their

priorities in the name of forest produce. Due to the participation of local people, it led to the efficient management of forests.
