Answer 2

Explanation:

Adivasis heavily rely on forests is one fact that no one can deny. Many landless Adivasis are unable to sustain themselves for more than 6 months after rains because of their reliance on single rain-fed crops. Since forests provide a range of uncultivated food sources such as vegetables, roots, tubers, flowers, fish, birds, red ants, Adivasis heavily rely on these for their daily needs. Besides resources of forest like gum, tendu pattas, mahua flowers, oilseeds are exchanged in barter for food grains or sold for a price from which they can purchase food grains.

On the other hand the forests provide herbal and traditional medicines (far superior to modern medicine) in the absence of the health care machinery; and free fruits, vegetables to take care of their nutrition in the absence of the fair public distribution system. Firewood for cooking, stones to build wells and houses, fodder for animals, bark of trees for rope are some of the other requirements in daily life that are met by the forests.
