Under whose leadership the movement was launched in protest against deforestation in Reni village of Chamoli district ?
Sunder Lal Bahuguna
Chandi Prasad Bhatt
Gaura Devi
Kalyan Rawat
Gaura Devi came to notice in 1974 when she was told that local loggers were felling trees on 25 March by a young girl. The men of Reni village had been tricked out of the village by news that the government was going to pay out compensation for land used by the army. It fell to Gaura Devi and 27 other women to tackle the loggers. She challenged the men to shoot her instead of cutting down the trees. After this incident, the Uttar Pradesh Government established a committee of experts to investigate the issue of felling of trees, and the lumber company withdrew its men from Reni. The committee stated that the Reni forest was an ecologically sensitive area and that no trees should be felled there. Thereafter the government of Uttar Pradesh placed a 10-year ban on all tree-felling in an area of over 1150 km².
