Vedclass · Answer

(D) : Sacred groves are an example of $in-situ$ conservation of forests and wildlife,especially rare and threatened species.These forest patches are found around places of worship and are held in high esteem by tribal communities.They are the most undisturbed forest patches,often surrounded by highly degraded landscapes.Not a single branch is allowed to be cut from these forests.As a result,many endemic species which are rare or have become extinct elsewhere can be seen to flourish here.Such sacred groves are found in the Khasi and Jaintia hills of Meghalaya,Aravalli hills of Rajasthan,Western Ghat regions of Karnataka and Maharashtra,and the Sarguja,Chanda,and Bastar areas of Madhya Pradesh.
