NCERT Question 4 (ii)

Write a note on good practices towards conserving forest and wildlife.

Answer:

To protect forests and wildlife, sustainable practices must be followed:

• Afforestation and Reforestation: Planting more trees and restoring degraded forests.
• Wildlife Protection Laws: Strict enforcement of laws like the Wildlife Protection Act (1972) to prevent poaching.
• Eco-friendly Agriculture: Reducing deforestation by promoting organic farming and agroforestry.
• Community Participation: Encouraging local people to manage forests through initiatives like Joint Forest Management (JFM).
• Reducing Deforestation: Promoting sustainable logging, preventing illegal tree cutting, and encouraging alternative fuel sources.

By adopting these measures, we can ensure the conservation of forests and wildlife for future generations. 🌳🦌
