Question

• Who do you think the forest belongs to?

• Bhudhiyamai said –“Forest is our ‘collective bank’ – not yours or mine alone.” Are there other things which are our collective wealth? So if someone uses more, everyone would suffer?

Answer 1

• A forest is the earth's natural resource. It neither belongs to any government agency nor any contractor. It belongs to plants, animals and all human beings.

• Yes, there are many other common natural resources. If these resources are not used judiciously, they may get exhausted and it may lead to many problems. These include petrol, minerals, water and many other things that are dug out from the earth.
