Ecology, Environment and Conservation
Sacred Groves of Badampahar Forest Range, Rairangpur Forest Division, Odisha, IndiaThe worship practices of indigenous people represent a symbiotic relationship between human beings and nature. Since old times conservation of biodiversity and natural resources has been an identical part of diverse cultures in different ways. Sacred groves are those patches of trees on forest land that are protected by local and Indigenous people with religious perspective and connotations. These are tracts of virgin forests with highly rich diversity, which have been protected by the traditional societies and indigenous communities since ages for their cultural and religious beliefs. Every sacred grove caries own myths, lore and legends which form the integral part of the sacred groves. These groves are distributed across the globe, and are diverse culturally. It recognizes them in different ways encoding various rules and regulations for their protection. India is rich in culture and tradition where sacred groves occur in different parts of Indian sub-continent viz., Central Indi...

Human disturbance and forest diversity in the Tansa Valley, India2003 •
We assessed the diversity of woody plants at 15 forested sites in the Tansa Valley of Thane District, in Maharashtra, India. The fewest species (11) were seen at a degraded mangrove site near the river mouth, and the greatest number (150) in the rich semi-evergreen forest on Tungar Hill. For all sites there were 141 tree, 25 shrub and 15 liana species, a total of 181 species. Excluding the mangrove site, which had no species in common with the other 14 sites, we analyzed the species distributions in detail. These sites ranged in area from 4 to 30 km2 each, had woody floras of 89 ± 6 species, and varied in intensity of human impact. Despite a history of exploitation and substantial reduction in biomass from firewood collecting, set fires and illicit tree felling, considerable plant diversity remains in the area. We found a modest increase in species richness in transects away from two villages. We observed the exploitation of the forest by the principal users, primarily of the Warli Tribe. They exploited a wide variety of forest resources (92 species), for medicines, foods, construction materials, household goods, manure and other purposes. They collected 15 items for sale. By far the single most important item collected was firewood, which dramatically reduced forest biomass within 2 km of villages. The species distributions in these forest remnants are strongly nested, mostly due to varying degrees of disturbance at individual sites. The high species diversity on Tungar Hill is most likely a relict of the earlier character of forests throughout much of the valley. It merits the highest priorities for preservation, as a refuge for Western Ghat species at the northern limits of their distributions.
Modern world of unmindful consumerism has resulted in over exploitation of our planet's scarce natural resources threatening biological diversity. The responsible major causes responsible behind this threatening biological diversity are deforested, pollution and cataclysmic phenomena like a cyclone, tectonic upheavals, excessive rain and climate change. This, therefore, call for maintaining the intrinsic relationship between forest and wildlife in the overall framework of natural conservation with human beings remaining at the centre. This has amply been demonstrated through one of the important studies appeared in the Science Advance Journal 2015, authored by scientists at Stanford, Princeton, Berkeley and Duke University. To demonstrate this, hilly areas with forests of Aravalli Ranges-the oldest mountain ranges of Asia—has been taken up as a case study to analyze the existing scenario, cause-effect relationships, human activities and their impact on the environment and finally strategizing their sustainable coexistence. Aravalis, the oldest fold mountain ranges of India display extreme range of climatic conditions, dry deciduous forest water scarcity with mixed ownerships. But the fact remains that the urbanization and industrialization have posed a serious threat to the environment of this area. Aravalli ranges in and around Delhi, Mewat and Faridabad in Haryana and District Alwar in Rajasthan have seen many such changes
