Local people were not allowed by the Government to use the forests in the traditional ways they had been using for generations. This has led to harmful effects on the sustainability of forests and its resources. A striking example of such case is: Nomadic shepherds used to take their sheep for grazing in the alpine meadows of Great Himalayan Peak during summers. But when they were not allowed to take sheep for grazing, it was seen that grass in the region grew very tall and then fell over preventing fresh growth, which proved harmful for the biodiversity of the region.
