Answer 1

Hope this will help you

Ans:Nature is an intrinsic part of the religious beliefs of certain communities and people in our country. One such example is the Bishnoi community of Rajasthan. This community’s belief revolves around the motto “worship nature in all its manifestations”. This belief has led to the protection and conservation of natural habitat in their area since a long time. In 1731, Amrita Devi Bishnoi from Khejrali village near Jodhpur established a group of 363 people, who sacrificed their lives for the protection of khejri trees. This saved the ecosystem of the village. This madeAmrita Devi Bishnoi​ famous and recently, the Indian government instituted the ‘Amrita Devi Bishnoi National Award for Wildlife Conservation’, in her memory.
