Solution

The correct option is A Forest conservation
Chipko Movement is a programme associated with Forest conservation. In the 1970's , an organized resistance to the destruction of forests spread throughout India and came to be known as the Chipko movement. The name of the movement comes from the word "embrace", as the villagers hugged the trees, and prevented the contractors from cutting them.
