Hello,
Sacred groves are the place where, the villagers worship any God or
may be some tree, or some special shape of stone or may be
anything.......or they are afraid of any evil in the area, hence they
dont cut any trees or kill any animal in that area, may be in fear of
that it would harm their family....
any ways this worked for preserving the forest... in sacred groves we
can see very old, rare, endangered trees.... sacred groves shows
50-70% different flora than the area around the groves...
hence its important to save all the sacred groves in the country..
regards
