He fought for the protection of forests during the non-violent Chipko movement of 1973. Large-scale movements, especially in deforestation, were made. Raised awareness from young children to adults and advocated for environmental protection. Prime Minister Narendra Modi mourned his death. He said no one could fill the deficit he lacked. &#8220;For five decades, we have been campaigning on environmental issues and against deforestation and working tirelessly for the protection of endangered flora, fauna and birds,&#8221; said Telangana CM KCR.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Passing away of Shri Sunderlal Bahuguna Ji is a monumental loss for our nation.
