Garhwal Himalayas
Correct Answer:
D. Garhwal Himalayas
Explanation:
The Chipko movement, a historic non-violent forest conservation effort, originated in the Garhwal Himalayas of Uttarakhand in the early 1970s. Local villagers, particularly women led by activists like Gaura Devi, famously hugged trees to prevent them from being felled by commercial loggers. This grassroots protest highlighted the critical link between forest preservation and the livelihoods of mountain communities, successfully leading to a ban on commercial felling in the region. Other regions like Delhi, Gujarat, and Assam were not the primary sites for the execution of this specific environmental movement.
