Answer 2

Answer:

Since forests are useful to animals as well as humans, it is the responsibility of every individual to conserve forests, and not just the the legislation.Some examples where locals have taken the initiative are as follows - Chipko Movement - It prevented the workers from felling the trees.

Chipko movement quickly spread across communities and media and forced the government to rethink their priorities in the use of forest produce. This type of participation by people led to efficient forest management.

Another example of people's participation in the management and conservation of forests was seen in the Sal forests of West Bengal. A.K Banerjee, a forest officer, got the villagers involved in protecting 1.272 hectares of badly degraded forests. Due to this active participation of locals, the Sal forests underwent a remarkable recovery.
