Question
How dense forest have survived in many cases across India?
Solution
The reasons:
(i)In many cases, across India, from Mizoram to Kerala, dense forests have survived only because villages protected them in sacred groves known as sarnas, devarakudu, kan, rai, etc.
(ii)Some villages have been patrolling their own forests, with each household taking it in turns, instead of leaving it to the forest guards.
