results / conclusion of sacred groves
Answers
Answer:
The study reveals the strong local management strategies link between folk culture and their land for a variety of surrounding landscape elements. The management systems used at present in some groves permit a limited level of resource use to be extracted from the groves. This has permitted the sacred groves to develop into old growth forests of great antiquity. The residents of Mulshi interviewed during this study clearly brought out their deep understanding of local forest resources as a life giving support system. However, they indicated that development has altered their perception due to the economic bonanza that land speculators have offered them over the last decade. The local myths, stories, and religious rituals are gradually being homogenized by external influences and the influx of towns’ people and formal school education. Thus ceremonial rituals such as the “Kaul” that had a strong controlling influence on resource extraction from sacred groves are not practiced by the younger generation. The groves are slowly but surely being degraded or even severely damaged. An example is the complete destruction of the Lavarde grove which was an excellent example of a grove. The whole grove was felled to construct the Temghar dam. Thus the local management systems of the sacred groves are being gradually lost. The institutional local management structure based on respected priests and the integrity of the local village panchayat government is now being altered through a widening economic divide in the traditional community and through new societal changes. The traditional management of land and resource use patterns at the local level will be progressively lost as the farmland is converted to an intensively man modified urban landscape. Pros towards the groves are absent. Their values are linked to economic considerations or to superficial aesthetic concerns or for holidays and picnics. There is no respect for nature as a supporter of livelihoods which was a part of the lives of traditional agropastoral people. Finally appropriate management today must include identifying ways of using alternate conservation strategies for groves. Ecodevelopment, ecorestoration, and sustainable tourism, through registering local Biodiversity Management Committees, can prevent the destruction of the fragile and biologically rich ecosystems of the groves and their surrounds. Only strong locally relevant public opinion to conserve these regions fragile ecosystem and traditional cultural values can save the groves from ultimate annihilation.
