Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The correct option is D Demarcation of wildlife sanctuaries

• Joint forest management is a policy of forest conservation in which the government and local communities strive for the conservation of forests.
  
• Chipko Movement: Chipko Movement was a forest conservation movement in India. It began in 1973. Alaknanda floods alarmed people of how deforestation has resulted in the disturbance.
  
• Beej Bachao Andolan is a forest conservatory movement which not only aimed at protecting traditional seeds but also to promote the local traditions of the communities living there.
