The first ever Chipko Movement was initiated by the Bishnoi Samaj in Rajasthan about 260 years ago.

Explanation:

It all began when the Jodhpur King ordered to axe a huge number of trees in the khejadi village of Jodhpur.

When the soldiers began to cut the trees in spite of people protesting against it, one of the villagers (Bishnoi community) named, Amrita Devi, hugged a tree along with her daughters so as to protect it from the soldiers.

But unfortunately, the soldiers sacked the heads of Amrita Devi and her daughters; which led the villagers to rise together and protect the trees in the same way like how Amrita did.

The soldiers also sacked a lot of villagers who embraced the trees. Finally, the king startled at the unity of the people, abandoned the idea of axing the trees.

This movement based on the principles of satyagraha and non-violent resistance done by hugging the trees to protect them from being axed down became the novel example for all forest conservation movements.

Answer:

The Chipko movement or Chipko Andolan, was a forest conservation movement in India. It began in 1970s in Uttarakhand, then a part of Uttar Pradesh (at the foothills of Himalayas) went on to become a rallying point for many future environmental movements all over the world. It created a precedent for starting nonviolent protest in India,[1] and its success meant that the world immediately took notice of this non-violent movement, which was to inspire in time many similar eco-groups by helping to slow down the rapid deforestation, expose vested interests, increase social awareness and the need to save trees, increase ecological awareness, and demonstrate the viability of people power. Above all, it stirred up the existing civil society in India, which began to address the issues of tribal and marginalized people. The Chipko Andolan or the Chipko movement is a movement that practiced methods of Satyagraha where both male and female activists from Uttarakhand played vital roles, including Gaura Devi, Suraksha Devi, Sudesha Devi, Bachni Devi and Chandi Prasad Bhatt, Virushka Devi and others. Today, beyond the eco-socialism hue, it is being seen increasingly as an ecofeminism movement. Although many of its leaders were men, women were not only its backbone, but also its mainstay, because they were the ones most affected by the rampant deforestation,[2] which led to a lack of firewood and fodder as well as water for drinking and irrigation. Over the years they also became primary stakeholders in a majority of the afforestation work that happened under the Chipko movement.[3][4][5] In 1987, the Chipko movement was awarded the Right Livelihood Award "for its dedication to the conservation, restoration and ecologically-sound use of India's natural resources."[6]

Chipko-type movements date back to 1730 AD when in village Prasanna Khamkar of Rajasthan, 363 Bishnois sacrificed their lives to save Khejri trees.

Answer:

To make our mRNA

Explanation:

I think it is this one, but I am not sure, sorry if it is wrong. :(  

But I do know this, I think it might help you:

A transfer RNA (tRNA) is a special kind of RNA molecule. Its job is to match an mRNA codon with the amino acid it codes for. You can think of it as a kind of molecular "bridge" between the two. Each tRNA contains a set of three nucleotides called an anticodon.
