1973: villagers hugged the trees. Today, we pay the guards.

The Chipko movement began in Chamoli — hill people wrapping their arms around deodars to stop the axes. The threat never left; it just changed shape. Parcels near roads are quietly cleared, one plot at a time.

Hugging trees bought time. Paying the people who guard them keeps trees standing. Uttarakhand's Van Panchayats have done this since 1931 — ₹1 a day funds that same tradition, proven on a public ledger.
