In South Rajasthan, environmental consciousness is not only a new educational or policy-driven movement; rather, it has long been an essential component of the local culture. A distinct ecological consciousness has evolved among many tribal populations, including the Bhil, Garasia, Meena, and Damor, and it has been perpetuated through oral stories, songs, myths, and folk literature. These conventional methods function as unofficial but efficient environmental education systems, influencing societal perceptions of water ethics, forest preservation, natural resource management, and peaceful living with plants and animals. The goal of this project is to investigate how these oral and folk traditions support sustainable living and environmental awareness. Sacred groves, which represent community-led forest patch protection through cultural taboos and spiritual veneration, are fundamental to South Rajasthan's ecological perspective. Natural components like rivers, mountains, and animals are frequently personified in folktales and mythologies, which present nature as a sentient being worthy of reverence and defense. Oral epics, agricultural ballads, and seasonal rituals all serve to uphold the principles of biodiversity care, soil protection, and monsoon awareness. This cultural ecology is consistent with global research on indigenous environmental knowledge, such as Berkes's (2008) study on Sacred Ecology and Posey's (1999) account of the oral and ritualistic ways that traditional communities preserve biodiversity. These global viewpoints show that indigenous oral traditions serve as archives of sustainability ethics and ecological memory across the globe.The eco-critical importance of Indian folk traditions is highlighted by national studies like Sharma (2015) and Gadgil & Guha (1995). Building on these foundations, this study looks at particular genres, such as South Rajasthan pastoral storytelling, rain-invocation songs, and "Gavri," to show how these cultural expressions pass on environmental ideals to future generations. By highlighting shared accountability, interdependence, and long-term ecological balance, these customs promote a community-centric approach to environmental stewardship. In light of the rapid changes in climate, water shortages, and ecological decline, indigenous knowledge proves to be an essential asset. The results highlight the need to merge folk literature with current environmental education, policy strategies, and community development efforts. This approach can enhance grassroots awareness about the environment and provide culturally relevant solutions for sustainable progress. The oral and folk traditions of South Rajasthan, therefore, possess significant contemporary importance and function as a link between traditional ecological understanding and modern sustainability objectives.
