Question

Which are the challenges associated with nature conservation in India?

Answer 1

This is one of the most widespread concerns across the landscape. The regular and frequent collection of fuelwood and non timber forest produce by the local communities and indigenous tribes leads to degradation of the habitat, as well as disturbs wildlife due to human interferences. Additionally, illegal grazing of cattle is also seen, which not only leads to forest degradation, but also exposes the herbivores to cattle diseases.
