Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forests of North East India are now in a critical stage. Over the years due to extensive use of forest resources and the overflow of populations to the forest areas, the deforestation process started creating many environmental as well as socio-economic problems for the traditional forest dwelling communities, degrading their society and ways of living. The role of the forest dwelling tribal communities can’t be ignored for forest conservation as traditionally they evolved a way of life which on the one hand, is woven around the forest ecology and forest resources, on the other hand, ensures that the forest is protected against the degradation my man and nature by evolving their unique and conservative system. Conservation helps the empowerment of forest communities and vice-versa. Their empowerment with provisions of all requirements prospers solving the problem of deforestation. This book discusses the impact of deforestation on tribal society vis-a-vis empowerment and conservation for the greater interest of protecting our natural environment and sustainable ways of living.

Download or read book Environmental History and Tribals in Modern India written by Velayutham Saravanan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph presents a comprehensive account of environmental history of India and its tribals from the late eighteenth onwards, covering both the colonial and post-colonial periods. The book elaborately discusses the colonial plunder of forest resources up to the introduction of the Forest Act (1878) and focuses on how colonial policy impacted on the Indian environment, opening the floodgates of forest resources plunder, primarily for timber and to establish coffee and tea plantations. The book argues that even after the advent of conservation initiatives, commercial exploitation of forests continued unabated while stringent restrictions were imposed on the tribals, curtailing their access to the jungles. It details how post-colonial governments and populist votebank politics followed the same commercial forest policy till the 1980s without any major reform, exploiting forest resources and also encroaching upon forest lands, pushing the self-sustainable tribal economy to crumble. The book offers a comprehensive account of India’s environmental history during both colonial and post-colonial times, contributing to the current environmental policy debates in Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India forests cover about 75m ha or about 25 per cent of the entire land area. In order to fulfil the appropriate functions the foresty development in India must proceed at a rate much faster than witherto for the sake of the entire economy, for the protection and improvement of the environment and for a much greater production of wood and other non-wood products. Not only the quality of environment be preserved and improved, but also the economic demand for forests products met adequately, both the internal utilization and for export. A substantial increase in employment in forestry operation is feasible and should be aimed at. It is necessary to emphasise that a close integration of the protective and porductive functions of forest should be aimed at which is both feasible and possible. Forests are a major factor of environment conservation and control extremes of heat and cold, rendering the climate more equable. To achieve good conservation and management of our natural resources, we should know the status of our genetic and biological resources. Thus continuous workd and intensive research in the fields of genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity and urgently needed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tradition-Oriented Rights Of The Tribal People Of India On Lands And Forests Are Not Only The Indigenous Issue Developed Long Ago, But In Most Of The Cases These Surpass The Frontiers Of History. After Their Many-Sided Confrontations With The Contemporary Conceptions, The Question Of Traditional Rights And Their Feasibility Has Raised A Lot Of Queries And Counter-Queries In The Sphere Of Safeguarding The Indiscriminate Destruction Of The Forested Environment And Unusual Utilization Of The Lands In Nature. The Question Has Not Only Been Confined To The Academic Circle, But It Has Stirred Conspicuously The Political Domain Of The Country Very Recently. The Tribal People Living In And Around The Forests Are Not The Destructor But The Conservers Of Forests And Related Natural Resources. Their Love And Sympathy For The Natural Resources Have Been Processed Characteristically In Their Cultural Patterns And Ultimately These Have Oriented The All-Embracing Tribal Philosophy. These Are Needed To Be Evaluated In Their Proper Perspectives With Scientific Outlook Reinforced By Concrete Case Studies. The Present Anthology Pledges To Supply Relevant Information To All Concerned In Its As Many As Nineteen Discernible Papers Including One Introduction Presented By The Veteran And Young As Well As Promising Social Scientists.
