Community-Based Bird Conservation Practices in Rural Rajasthan: A Case Study from Jalore

Author(s) Rajal Mishra, Dr. Shivali Rana

Abstract This paper, Community-Based Bird Conservation Practices in Rural Rajasthan: A Case Study from Jalore explores the role of traditional knowledge and community participation in bird conservation practices in rural Rajasthan, with a focused case study of Jalore district. Rajasthan's arid landscape, though seemingly inhospitable, harbors a rich avifaunal diversity, largely sustained through localized conservation ethics deeply embedded in cultural and religious values. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, semi-structured interviews, and participatory rural appraisal (PRA) techniques, this research examines how indigenous communities in Jalore engage in bird-friendly agricultural practices, ritual protections, and habitat preservation without formal conservation frameworks. The study highlights the symbiotic relationship between community livelihoods and ecological stewardship, where conservation is often an unarticulated but lived practice. Particular attention is paid to the role of Bishnoi and other local communities whose spiritual and moral codes emphasize non-violence and coexistence with wildlife. The findings suggest that these community-based practices, though informal and largely undocumented, contribute significantly to the conservation of threatened and migratory bird species in the region. The research also addresses the challenges posed by modernization, habitat loss, and shifting socio-economic dynamics, calling for an integrative approach that bridges traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) with formal conservation strategies.
