Bishnois: The protectors of Blackbuck

It is perhaps the extreme harshness of the environment that has made the local people of the Thar desert especially the Bishnois very conscious about wildlife conservation and maintenance of the area's ecological balance. Bishnoi communities are well known for the sacrifices they have made to protect nature and wildlife since their Guru Jambheshwarji Maharaj (popularly known as Jamboji ) launched this sect way back in 1542 AD. Born in 1508 AD, in Pipasar, a village near Jodhpur in Rajasthan, Jamboji was a man of great foresight.

Bishnoi is a community that work for save tree and all wide life animal. We are working from last 500 years when VISHNOI community is made by the our dharm Guru Shri Jambho ji Maharaj.
Vishnoi are mainly living in Rajasthan, Haryana ,west UP and some in other part of india.
