In Biosphere Reserves, Wildlife Sanctuaries, and Wetlands declared under Ramsar Convention, local people are allowed to collect and use the biomass under certain restrictions.

In National Parks in India, local people are generally not allowed to collect or use biomass. National Parks are areas set aside for the conservation and protection of wildlife and their habitats, with strict regulations in place to minimise human interference and maintain ecological balance. This includes restrictions on activities such as logging, hunting, grazing, and collection of biomass to ensure the preservation of biodiversity.
