Detailed Solution

India has also a history of religious and cultural traditions that emphasized protection of nature. In many cultures, tracts of forest were set aside, and all the trees and wildlife within were venerated and given total protection. Such sacred groves are found in Khasi and Jaintia Hills in Meghalaya. In Meghalaya, the sacred groves are the last refuges for a large number of rare and threatened plants. It is a form of in situ conservation as flora and fauna are protected in their natural habitat.
