Solution
Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A. Bishnoi
Bishnoi is a tribal community in Rajasthan. For Bishnoi people, protecting wildlife is a religion. A well-remarked case study for the conservation of forests by Bishnoi people is of Amrita Devi Bishnoi who sacrificed her life for protecting 'Khejri' trees. She literally hugged the tree and dared King's men to cut her first before the tree. The King's men didn't bother about her and cut down trees along with her. 363 other Bishnoi people followed her and sacrificed their lives for the protection of sacred 'khejrali' forest. In the memory and honour of Bishnoi people who sacrificed their lives for the protection of forests, Amrita Devi Bishnoi Wildlife Protection Award was initiated.
So, the correct answer is 'Bishnoi'.
