Biodiversity and ecological conservation in Practices –
Jaivavividhatā evaṃ Paryāvaraṇa-Saṃrakṣaṇam
(Ecological wisdom and conservation practices)
In India, biodiversity (jīva-jāti vividhatā) and ecological conservation (paryāvaraṇa sanrakṣaṇam) stem from a sacred vision where nature is divine and interconnected with life. Practices like devrai (sacred groves), vanaspatī pūjā (tree worship), and community forests reflected deep ecological reverence. Indigenous communities, guided by lokavidyā and sahaj jīvana, lived in harmony with land, rivers, and wildlife.
We invite abstracts and papers exploring (but not limited to) the following areas:
• Sacred Ecology: Nature as Mātṛbhūmi and Prakṛti Devī
• Devrai and Sacred Groves: Community-Based Biodiversity Conservation
• Vanaspatī Pūjā and Tree Worship Traditions
• Lokavidyā and Indigenous Knowledge Systems
• Sahaj Jīvana: Simple Living and Environmental Balance
• Biodiversity in Traditional Agriculture and Agroforestry
• Ahiṁsā and Ṛta: Ethical Foundations for Conservation
• Animals in Indian Thought: Protection, Symbolism, and Coexistence
• Rivers, Mountains, and Landscapes as Living Beings
• Modern Environmental Challenges and the Revival of Traditional Wisdom
