of forests spread in the
hills of Uttaranchal
in1970‟s
• Birth place - Gopeshwar

• The movement is best known for its tactic of
hugging trees to prevent them being cut
down and to prevent commercial timber
harvesting.
Background
• Government's decision to allot forest trees to a sports
goods company.
• The local residents in Gopeshwar were denied the similar
demand of getting few trees, required for making farm
tools.
• Mr. Chandi Prasad Bhatt of „Dasoli Gram Swarajya
Sangh‟(DGSS) wanted to establish small industries using
forest resources, with an aim to provide job opportunities
to local youth and check migration.
• Founder of Chipko
movement.
• Organized rallies to protect
the forest from mass
destruction.
Chandi Prasad Bhatt
“Let them know we will not allow the felling
of a single tree. When their men raise
their axes, we will embrace the trees to
protect them.”
- Chandi Prasad Bhatt

movement
Gaura Devi
(an elderly woman)
• Head of the village
Mahila Mangal Dal.
• Mobilized village women
for the movement when
company men marched
to cut the trees.

like a mother; you will
only be able to use
your axes on it but
you have to use them
first on us.”

Save them from being felled;
The wealth of our hills,
Save them from being looted.”

Protect me from being slaughtered.”

country.

forests and create employment.
• By 1981, over a million trees had been
planted through their efforts.
• Villagers paid special attention in care of
the trees and forest trees are being used
judiciously.
Chandi Prasad Bhatt
- a quote
“Our movement goes beyond the erosion of
the land, to the erosion of human values.
The center of all this is humankind. If we are
not in a good relationship with the
environment, the environment will be
destroyed, and we will lose our ground. But
if you halt the erosion of humankind,
humankind will halt the erosion of the soil.”
Recognition
• Chandi Prasad Bhatt- Raman Megasessey
award
• Sunder Lal Bahuguna- Padma Bhusan
Award
As a diverse movement with diverse
experiences, strategies, and motivations,
Chipko inspired environmentalists both
nationally and globally and contributed
substantially to the emerging philosophies
of eco-feminism and deep ecology and
fields of community-based conservation
and sustainable mountain development.
