Traditional Conservation Practices

Traditional conservation practices are established methods rooted in local knowledge and cultural traditions that aim to protect natural resources, such as forests, water, and wildlife. These practices often involve sustainable use, community cooperation, and respect for natural cycles. Examples include rotational farming, sacred groves, and communal hunting rules. They emphasize harmony between people and nature, ensuring resources remain available for future generations while supporting local livelihoods. These time-tested approaches are valuable for maintaining ecological balance and fostering conservation efforts within the community context.
