Appiko Movement - Karnataka (Correctly Matched):

• Explanation: Launched in September 1983 by the villagers of Western Ghats in the Uttar Kannada district of Karnataka, the Appiko Movement was inspired directly by the Himalayan Chipko Movement. "Appiko" in the local Kannada language means "to hug." Villagers hugged trees to prevent them from being felled by commercial loggers, successfully protecting the region's tropical forests.
