Answer:
Sacred groves are sacred tracts which are
held in high esteem by local communities.
The sacred groves are dedicated to local
deities or ancestral spirits and are protected by local communities through
social traditions and taboos that incorporate spiritual and ecological values.
Sacred groves represent native
vegetation in a natural or near natural state and are thus, rich in
biodiversity and harbour many rare species of plants and animals.
Such sacred groves are found in
Meghalaya (Khasi and Jaintia hills), Aravalli hills of
Rajasthan, Western Ghats,
regions of Karnataka and Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh(Bastar, Chanda and
Sarguja region).
