The Khejri tree holds a special place in their lives, and cutting down or lopping its branches is taboo. This small evergreen tree has been hailed as the lifeline of the Thar desert. It is a source of shade; its leaves provide fodder to camels, goats, cattle and other animals; its pods are edible and the wood is used as fuel; its roots fix atmospheric nitrogen, making the soil fertile. The khejri is, therefore, invaluable to desert economy and ecology. Revered as shami since Vedic period, the tree features prominently in both the Ramayana and Mahabharata.

It was primarily focused on the conservation and protection of forests, including the conservation of trees. The movement employed non-violent methods, including hugging or embracing trees to prevent them from being cut down. The Chipko movement was born out of the recognition that deforestation had devastating consequences for local communities and the environment. It started in the state of Uttarakhand (formerly known as Uttaranchal) in the Himalayan region of northern India. Villagers, mainly women, realized the importance of forests for their livelihoods, as well as for maintaining the ecological balance of the region. The movement gained prominence when the local community, under the leadership of activists such as Sunderlal Bahuguna, began hugging trees to prevent them from being felled by logging companies.
