Answer:
Our traditions are helping to conserve our ecosystem. Explain with eg.
Answer:
The idea of environmental protection is not new to Indians. In the past, conserving nature and wildlife was a deeply held belief that was reflected in people's daily lives and ingrained in myths, folklore, religion, the arts, and culture.
Explanation:
The preservation of select plots of land or forests as "holy groves" dedicated to a god or a village God, safeguarded, and worshipped, is one of the best examples of ancient traditions in India based on religious faith that have profoundly contributed to natural conservation.
These can be found all over India, but are particularly common in areas of Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Maharashtra as well as along the western coast and the Western Ghats.
There are numerous small snake-only jungles in Kerala (Sarpakavu, Sarpa meaning snake, kavu meaning jungle). There are also Ayyappan kavus devoted to Lord Ayyappa, the most well-known of which is the holy hill of Sabarimala with an Ayyappan temple, visited by millions of worshippers every year.
