Sacred groves (SGs) are forest patches protected by indigenous communities due to their cultural beliefs and taboos. It is estimated that there are between 100,000 and 150,000 SGs in India. These are often relics of the original vegetation that covered the region before slash and burn agriculture became prevalent. The supportive role of SGs in species maintenance and ecological functions is well recognized and reviewed.Full Text
