Conclusion

This study highlights the role of local communities’ in grove conservation as well as restoration of degraded sacred groves. Even simple protection measures (wire fencing etc.) with local awareness would help in protecting fragments of natural vegetation .

The need of the hour is to link up this traditional practice with current livelihood centric conservation approaches so that communities’ involvement could be secured for coming periods.
