Local communities play a central role in a large number of conservation initiatives in India. Those span from the continuing traditional strict protection of sacred groves to the renewed interest and engagement of local communities in protecting their natural resource catchments and saving natural habitats from the penetration of destructive commercial and industrial forces. Some efforts are self-initiated by the communities. Others are supported or facilitated by government or non-government external agencies. The mentioned initiatives appear to conserve a large amount of biodiversity, both ‘wild’ and ‘domesticated’. A preliminary country-wide assessment of the extent, kind, and efficacy of such efforts is currently being conducted in India. The results of the study will be important to assess the community contribution to overall conservation in the country, to identify policy and legal measures to facilitate such initiatives, and to learn lessons relevant also for official conservation efforts.
