Abstract

Before planning conservation strategies, decision-makers should recognize the cultural and social aspects of the people in and around any ecosystem. This might assist effective management. The needs and problems of the habitat often fail to be taken into consideration before planning forest management. Educating and encouraging the participation of local communities, especially tribal women in conservational activities could play an important role. An attempt was made to educate the tribal women of Jambughoda Wildlife Sanctuary, Panchmahal District (Western India) about conservation of the local deciduous biodiversity. The paper narrates actions taken in the field for conserving this biodiversity, involving tribal women and children as partners of the protected areas. It might serve as an exemplary case for implementation elsewhere in the world.
