Why Bishnoi community is an example for conservation of forest and wildlife? |
|
Answer» ANSWERBishnoi is a tribal community in Rajasthan. For Bishnoi people, protecting wildlife is a religion. A well-remarked case study for the conservation of forests by Bishnoi people is of Amrita Devi Bishnoi who sacrificed her life for protecting \'Khejri\' trees. She literally hugged the tree and dared King\'s men to cut her first before the tree. The King\'s men didn\'t bother about her and cut down trees along with her. 363 other Bishnoi people followed her and sacrificed their lives for the protection of sacred \'khejrali\' forest. In the memory and honour of Bishnoi people who sacrificed their lives for the protection of forests, Amrita Devi Bishnoi Wildlife Protection Award was initiated.\xa0 Conservation of forests and wildlife is necessary to protect the biodiversity. This is important because loss of biodiversity leads to ecological imbalance. But any conservation effort for forest and wildlife must keep the interests of all stakeholders in mind. |
