"41 years ago on this date, Gaura Devi led a group of 27 women in the Garhwal Himalayas, to form circles around trees to stop them being felled by loggers. Their protest lasted four days and eventually succeeded when contractors gave up. It was the birth of the Chipko movement in India. (1974) READ More at Good News in History from March 26":

Embora eles digam que este protesto teria sido a origem do movimento Chipko, na verdade a lenda diz que remonta ao primeiros protestos dos ancestrais dos Bishnoy.
