The Chipko movement began in the state of Uttarakhand (formerly part of Uttar Pradesh) in India. It originated in the early 1970s in the village of Reni in the Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. The movement was initiated by local villagers, particularly women, who protested against deforestation and commercial logging practices that were adversely affecting their livelihoods and the local environment.
