The use of forest products for socio-religious purposes has hardly teen brought into focus in the recent studies concerning indigenous forest use patterns in the Indian context The preliminary findings of this study of five West Bengal tribes has identified all the bio-resources used in rituals performed at both the family and community levels, and bar. produced an inventory of the flora and tauna which are protected through taboos The study also reports for the first Ume the existence of a number of evanescent sacred groves in West Bengal Despite the historical processes causing much attenuation, these sacred grows are still maintained by the tribal villagers. In the face of severe economic hardships of the tribals in the region under study, the persistence of much of the socio-religious ethos or protecting the bio-resources reveal the strength of the conservationist tradition of our indigenous cultures
