Verified by Experts

.Prejudice against the traditional use of forest areas has no basis. This statement can be explained with following example:
The great Himalayan park contain alpine meadows which were grazed by sheep in summer. Nomadic shepherds drove their flock up from the velly every summer. This practice was banned, when the National park was formed. Because of no grazing, the grass first grew very tall and then fell over on the ground preventing fresh growth.
Hence the traditional use was helpful for the forest maintenance.
