The disturbing news reached the ruler of Jodhpur state, and he immediately stopped the
massacre (murder). By now the entire Bisnoi community was up in arms. They met the
Maharaja and told him that since they were not allowed to pursue (follow) their faith and
religion, they would rather leave the state. The Maharaja was quick to realize the
seriousness of the situation. He apologized for the horrible mistake committed by his
officer and issued a royal decree (order), engraved on a copper plate, prohibiting the cutting
of tress in any Bisnoi village in Jodhpur state. Hunting of all wild animals was also
prohibited. Who are Bisnois? This is a sect (group) that was founded in 1542 by
Janmewarji. He formulated twenty nine principles for the protection of herbivores and
trees. That is how the community got its name Bisnoi, as 'bis" is twenty and ‘noi" is nine.
For centuries, the Bisnois have remained the traditional protectors of Khejri trees and black
buck.
