Hello candidate,

The most prominent and one of the most important movements of people regarding environmental degradation in India was the Chipko movement which was started by a group of villagers to stop the the hunters and other officials from cutting their trees as they believed that their plants were a part of their lives and killing them was not right thing.

Soon, this movement spread to almost all parts of the country and it became a massive boost and a recognisable figure in the Indian history regarding environment protection.

Hope this information helps you!!
