Abstract
Sacred groves have survived without human intervention for a very long time, and are thus of anthropological, cultural, economic and ecological value. In highly degraded habitats and farmlands, the groves are the only intact trees. The paper addresses the effectiveness of traditional strategies as an instrument for the conservation of species and habitats and calls for a comprehensive assessment of indigenous conservation systems and the promotion of those systems that have the potential to increase efforts to conserve biodiversity in the world
