Download or read book Tropical Moist Forest Silviculture and Management written by Henry Colyear Dawkins and published by Cabi. This book was released on 1998 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on extensive research of the literature and fifty years experience by each author, this book provides a highly relevant, definitive history of the development of silvicultural systems in tropical moist forest (a broad term which encompasses many forest types). Much of the information is made widely available for the first time. The book demonstrates that sustainable timber production in many of these forests is not only possible, but the techniques necessary have been known to foresters for many decades. The authors begin by tracing the early history and go on to describe the later, more technical phases and the growth of global exploitation. Examples from many countries are described in detail, considering all aspects including the economic, ecological and social implications. This book is essential reading for forest managers in the tropics, as well as advanced students and researchers in forestry, ecology and natural resource management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the ancient ways of a peaceful but brave tribe is threatened by the arrogance of an empire, savagery of the “civilised” and greed of the affluent, the only thing left to do is rise in rebellion. The year is 1855. The tribe: Santals. Born a few months after the British soldiers raided their village and killed his father, Bikram grows up with a strong intolerance for injustice. Lt. James Davies of the British Native Infantry finds himself in the madding world of 19th century Colonial India. But he is quick to learn and develops a strange affection for this complex land and its people. Shibani is a Bengali child-widow and an heiress, who finds her life lonely and stifling. Of the many burdens she must bear at a young age are protecting her estate and the future of her son. Their lives collide in the backdrop of mounting unease amongst the tribals. Result of extensive historical research and brimming with memorable characters, the story moves through a whirlwind of passion, greed, betrayal, cruelty and sacrifice. As Bikram grows up, he realises it’s his identity as a Santal that has become a bane. He finds himself sucked into the vortex of Hul – the Great Santal Rebellion against the British and their lackeys –the ‘dikus’. Thousands of Santal tribesmen wage a desperate war for self-determination. Bare feet against boots; arrows against howitzers. The odds seem insurmountable. 50,000 Santals are massacred in the Hul.

Download or read book Forests the People and the Government written by Renu Khator and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The welfare role of the state has allowed the bureaucracy to venture into new areas of regulation, and consequently, to assume a leviathanian role in the modern society. But, what is the cost of this bureaucratic intervention? Is regulation cost effective to the society? With these questions as the bases of analysis, this book examines the outcome of the forest policy process in India. An analysis of the forest policy indicates that the realization of the deforestation problem occurred as early as in the 1860s. since then, the government has been relying on the regulatory capabilities of the bureaucracy to control the sources of deforestation. Regulations, it is argued, are necessary to restrict the destructive use of forests by the people, especially the forest-dwellers. Contrary to this argument, environmentalists blame the corrupt, and selfish behaviour of bureaucrats for the damage done to the forests. Despite of an extensive legal network, nation continues to lose more than one million hectares of forests each year. This book provides an statistical analysis of the causes of deforestation in India states. After assessing the influence of several independent variables-political, economic, bureaucratic, and demographic-on deforestation, the study concludes that the bureaucracy, indeed, has failed in its regulatory role.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has the largest concentrationof tribals in the world. In recent years, a vibrant feature of North-East Region has been the rise of ethnic consciousness leading to tribal movement and ethnic unrest. This vital problem faced by us today is largely on inheritance from our recent past and a close look back is called for to unravel some trends for second thought to solve this burning problem. In the present book, Dr. Paul has tried to explain the various dimensions of tribal movements witha special reference to 'Udayachal Movement' in Assam Valley. This ia pioneering attempt where he explored sociologically the genesis of plain's tribal movement of Assam Valley. His contention is that Udayachal Movement has not come out from a vacuum. The contradictions introduced by the Unequal socio-political forces in the tribal communal social system during the colonial era and the consolidation of the same in the post-Independence period challenged their existence.

Download or read book Forest Or Farm written by Kléber Bertrand Ghimire and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes that the historical unequal distribution of cultivated land across tenure classes--and in particular the extremely small land units combined with the declining yields and population growth--has produced a gradual process of landlessness in Nepal. One result has been the high level of migration and spontaneous land settlement in forest areas in the Nepal Tarai, where prospects for land settlement are still substantial. The work demonstrates how recent state policies emphasizing forest protection seal off this "last" agricultural frontier and subject landless migrants to official intimidation, frequently accompanied by the destruction of their homes and crops and eviction from their settlements.
