Rajasthan took a leading role to maintain the environmental balance from earlier days. So, conservation of trees is the traditional culture of Rajasthan.
(i) The community awareness in Rajasthan to save the environment is ages old. The land area near the villages is conserved by naming it after any regional god, goddess, saint or a great person.
(ii) The concern of the local people towards environment conservation, the grazing land, the grass lands and the orans are conserved in the rural areas.
(iii) Many variety of trees are worshipped on different occasions like amla tree on Amla Navami, sacred peepal tree on Dasha Mata vrat. We worship trees to give a message and make efforts to save them.
(iv) The king’s soldiers cut the khejari trees along with their villagers. Total 363 people including Amrita Devi Bishnoi sacrificed their lives to save the Khejari trees. They sacrificed because trees and plants give us fruits, flowers, cereals, vegetables, wood, medicines and oxygen. People took an inspiration from this incident and started the Chipko movement.
