Solution

Chipko movement was organized during 1970s in order to prevent deforestation. It protected forests and plants.

In today's world which shifting towards urbanisation and industrialisation, there is a great need for movements like these. I live in ghaziabad district which is near Delhi, the capital of India. I have been living here for years and within the spam of 68 years, i have seen parks around me dissolving into multi-storey. Since then, there is global warming all the summer and the place suffers from smog (smog+fog) in winters. Air quality of Delhi and surrounding places is miserable. This all is majorly because of deforestation.
