Answer 1

The Bishnoi  sect of Rajasthan  obeys 29 sutras  (points) important for wildlife conservation

Explanation

• The Bishnoi Sect was founded by Guru Jambheshwar in 1485 . He is believed to the reincarnation of Vishnu..Jambheshwar gave a set of 29 principles to be followed as edicts of day-to-day life.Of the 29 principles laid down by Jambhoji as fundamental for the sect, eight were prescribed to preserve biodiversity as much as to encourage animal husbandry. These include non-sterilisation of bulls, prohibition on killing of animals and birds as much as the cutting of any green trees

• To be a Bishnoi, the select necessity was to live by these 29 life standards including no executing or eating of creatures, no chopping down of 'living' trees or their 'living' (i.e., green and developing) parts and no liquor utilization. All positions and networks, who consented to keep these principles, were free to join the order.
