How can people’s participation be effective in conserving forests and wildlife?

Solution
 The people's participation is effective to conserve the forests and wildlife. As the forests and tribals are very closely related and one cannot be developed without the other. The age old knowledge of tribals regarding forestry can be used in the conservation and development of forests.

Chipko Movement is a movement launched by the people to conserve the forests. It creates awareness and encourages active participation of masses in tribal areas.

Social forestry and farm forestry are such steps taken by the people. The protection of wildlife has a long tradition in India. Many stories of Panchatantra indicate the people's participation in the conservation of wildlife.
