Srinagar: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said that it is important to ensure the rights of traditional forest dwellers of Jammu and Kashmir.
“It is important to ensure rights of traditional forest dwellers who have been residing in nature’s lap for generations are not infringed upon. We need to modernize Forest and Wildlife management system and also involve forest dwellers in the social movement for the conservation of the environment,” Sinha said.
While attending the celebrations of the International Day of Forests, he said, “sustainable Forest Management and efficient use of its resources is the key to combat climate change and ensuring a prosperous ecosystem for future generations.”
He said a sapling should be planted in every village in the name of a newborn girl child to create awareness among the present and future generations about the rights of daughters and awareness about natural heritage.
