Prepare a historical account of conservation of forests in India with focus on Chipko Movements in Rajasthan and Uttaranchal. 

To stop the ruthless cutting of trees in the Himalayas, a unique movement, Chipko was started by illiterate tribal women in the Tehri Garhwal district of Uttaranchal in 1972.
The word Chipko means ‘to hug’ or ‘to embrace’ and the movement derived its name from the dramatic circumstances in which it was born. In 1978 when the women of Advani village hugged the trees, faced police firing and later courted arrest. The movement continued under the leadership of Shri Sundar Lal Bahuguna. He undertook a people's march through about 3000 km in the hilly region of the Himalayas to protest against the felling of trees. Ultimately Chipko Movement got the success and a large number of trees could be saved from cutting.
