Creating awareness
Of late, the rural poor have realised that protection of the forest is basic to their survival and they themselves are protecting it. This would imply that creating awareness among the rural poor about the need to protect not merely forests but trees will go a long way in saving the forests. The forest in India has not been destroyed despite rural fuelwood removal because the estimates probably do not take into account the coppicing of the forest species.
