What are sacred groves and their role in biodiversity conservation?
Sacred grooves are one of the protected areas or natural habitat which have been set under the in situ conservation methods for the protection of wild flora and fauna. They are the sacred forest patches around the places of worship. Undistributed forest patches are surrounded by degraded landscapes. These types of sacred grooves are found in various places in India like Khasi, Jaintia hills of Meghalaya, Western Ghats of Maharashtra and Karnataka etc. Tribals built temples in these patches and they do not allow the cutting of a single branch of the tree from these sacred grooves. So, their flora and fauna are preserved naturally.
