Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decentralized forest management is an important policy issue in India and elsewhere. Yet there are few careful studies of the impacts of community forestry. The authors try to fill this gap by analyzing National Sample Survey data from 524 villages in five states in India. Their analysis seeks to answer two key questions: (1) Who participates in community forestry and what are the determinants of participation? (2) What is the impact of participation on household fuelwood consumption? The authors find that proximity to forests, leadership, and fuelwood dependence are significant factors in explaining village participation in community forestry. Household participation is strongly correlated with scarcity, a result that has implications for a recent policy to expand community forestry from degraded to less degraded forests. The authors' most important findings are that fuelwood consumption and participation are linked, and household participation has a significant positive impact on consumption. However, the presence of a village level forestry institution does not have a direct effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s decade brought about some revolutionary change in the community management and development as the people s participation becomes an important goal in managing natural resources efficiently, sustainably and equitably. The Government initiative in policy making and issuing resolutions were welcomed, which made an impetus for the participatory process by the State Forest Departments, Civil Society Organizations, Research institutions and so on. Madhya Pradesh is well-known state for its natural forests ( Tiger state) and indigenous peoples ( Tribal state). The State Forest Department followed the National Guidelines and commenced their activities in 1991 forming the village institution in Harda, which was later transformed in to Joint Forest Management (JFM) model .In this state largest number of JFM committees have been formed on the basis of forest canopy and resource degradation. In their holistic attempts the protected area management has been part and parcel of the JFM programme. There are number of novelties in their planning and implementation. These are micro-planning, participatory silvi-cultural options, respecting people s knowledge, man-power planning , revolving fund, equitable sharing, gender unification and so on. There were establishments of Eco-centres and Extension centres in number of places for awareness development, skill development for livelihoods, capacity building in managing the village organization, attitudinal changes of forest officials and villagers, dissemination of information for progress and development. The M.P.Forestry Project is another land-mark for boosting the efforts for achieving the common property resources situation. The whole process of JFM programme has been thoroughly discussed in sequences in this book by an academician and a forest administrator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From land management to water rights, this volume looks at the current status of Common Property Resources, or CPRs, in South Asia. Developed countries, have managed to establish well-defined property rights over numerous resources and in some instances extended non-exclusionary rights over privately owned resources over an extended period of time. In the developing world, however, the share of community property is extensive, either as a response to an expanding market or because the exposure to markets in still in its nascent stage. This coupled with the demands of globalization, has led to the co-existence of both community ownership of resources as well as an evolving private property rights market. This tension between public versus private ownership rights is particularly relevant in the developing countries of South Asia, not only because of its shared history but also because of its resources frequently cross national boundaries. This book tells the story of CPRs and the commons in a rapidly changing South Asia. Including contributions from those working with natural resources in Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, the papers discuss issues such as equity in distribution; efficiency and productivity of resources; sustainability of resources; and institutional transition and governance.

Download or read book Forest Transition Deficiency Syndrome written by Emmanuel Ametepeh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While previous studies focus on lack of enforcement of forest laws, poverty, and ecological values of forest dependent people, coherent studies on people’s motivations for forest illegalities and non-compliance behavior remain scanty. Emmanuel Ametepeh argues that the systematic analysis of cause-and-effect patterns related to forest management measures and policies through the lenses of the Forest Transition Theory uncovers severe limitations. The resulting multi-complex stress factors adversely impact and hence manifest in the form of deviant compliance behavior (“syndrome”) in the management endeavor of forest-fringe people. The Author shows that motivations for forest illegalities and associated non-compliance behavior is largely an outcome of adverse experiences forest people have been subjected to as a result of historical and contemporary neglects and marginalization in the management endeavor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon recent analytical work prepared inside and outside the World Bank, this report identifies key lessons concerning the linkages between poverty and the environment. With a focus on the contribution of environmental resources to household welfare, the analysis increases our understanding of how specific reforms and interventions can have an impact on the health and livelihoods of poor people. 'Scholars and development practitioners increasingly recognize that in low-income countries there are inextricable links between poverty reduction and natural resources management. Demand has grown immensely for not only more, but better empirical evidence on those links. This volume offers a careful synthesis of key findings from growing literature on the environmental determinants of household welfare, as reflected by indicators of consumption, health, and income. The primary contribution of this study is that is has drawn out vital policy conclusions that will be of value to organizations and governments concerned about poverty and the environment in the developing world.' --Professor Christopher B. Barrett, Cornell University
