Answer -
Sacred groves are referred to the tracts of forests that are restored in the places of worship. These are found to be in Western Ghats of Karnataka, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Meghalaya. These groves help in safeguarding threatened, rare and endemic species of animals and plants present in a region. The act of deforestation is sternly banned in tribal regions. Thus, sacred groves are a rich region.
