Role of communities in the conservation of forest and wildlife can be explained as follows:
(i) 'Sariska Tiger Reserve' is situated in Rajasthan, here the people of nearby villages have fought against mining activities and protecting the natural habitat of wildlife.
(ii) In Alwar, Rajasthan, the people of five villages have declared 1200 hectare of forest as the "Bhairodev Dakav Sonchuri". They set their own rules and regulations which do not allow hunting etc.
(iii) Chipko movement by locals in Himalayas successfully resisted the deforestation.
