In a major boost to the cause of ecological conservation, the Supreme Court has asked the Rajasthan government to formally recognise all the sacred groves in the state.

The apex court also suggested an identification of traditional communities that have historically protected sacred groves and designate the areas as ‘Community Forest Resource' under Section 2(a) of the Forest Rights Act.
