Answer : 1. "Uttarakhand"
Explanation :

The movement originated in the Himalayan region of Uttarakhand (then part of Uttar Pradesh) in 1973 and quickly spread throughout the Indian Himalayas. The Hindi word chipko means “to hug” or “to cling to” and reflects the demonstrators' primary tactic of embracing trees to impede loggers.
