Abstract (Original Language):
Human faith, beliefs, traditions and superposition have played a significant role in biodiversity
conservation in India for centuries and will continue to have an impact on nature conservation for some time to
come. Common beliefs and superstitions regarding trees, herbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables are prevalent
among the people of both rural and urban India. Interestingly these superstitions are not only confined to India
but to several other parts of world particularly in Asia, Africa and Australia. The concept of “sustainable
development” which the modern environmentalists are harping upon to use the natural resources more
judiciously and equitably for a more stable and balanced development and without impairing with the abilities of
the future generations to use those resources and without interfering into their living rights was perhaps inspired
by Indian mythology.
