DOWNLOAD EBOOKParticipatory approaches aim at achieving representation of a broad segment of local communities, including poor and marginalized groups in natural resource management. Focusing on the case of Joint Forest Management (JFM) in India, this paper analyzes three levels of participation (attendance of decisive meetings, membership in executive committees, and influence on decisions taken) and their determinants. A conceptual model of the different levels of participation and their linkages is presented and tested through econometric analysis of data from 660 households within 55 JFM communities in Andhra Pradesh. Results indicate that participatory approaches have been somewhat successful in achieving representation of marginalized groups in executive committees and their attendance of meetings. Actual decision-making processes continue, however, to be dominated by community elites as well as forest department officials.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVillage Voices, Forest Choices offers the first comprehensive examination of revolutionary changes occurring in the management of India's forests. Over the past two decades, responding to scarcities, thousands of villages have taken charge of public forests, thereby controlling grazing and cutting. The result has been a striking renewal of once badly degraded ecosystems. Lush young secondary forests are emerging in many parts of central India, rich in biodiversity, where degrading, eroding wastelands were recently dominant. Equally remarkable, this has often happened with no outside assistance. The fourteen contributors to this book look at how this has occurred, including the institutional, economic, ecological, and political implications of this historic transformation. They assess how management goals for natural forests will change under community control and how government agencies, scientists, and other organizations might respond to these shifting priorities. Anyone concerned with the state of India's forests, or those interested in forestry and environmental policies will want this study.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the mid 1980s, devolution and decentralization of natural resource management has become a policy tool for many developing countries across the globe. Many countries including India have developed and decentralized their resource use and management system to the users. The apparent change in policy from the state managed top down approach to the community level (Bottom up approach) is fueled by the recognition of the limits of government agencies in managing resources at the local level, which has resulted in massive degradation of natural resources and of local people's livelihood systems.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Joint Forest Management Programme, epitomising the 1988 national forest policy of the Government of India, set the country free from the shackles of over a century of bureaucratic straglehold. Centralisation of management was envisaged to give way to decentralisation, unilateralism to participatory decision-making and bureaucratisation to institutionalising people's participation in the protection, management and development of forests. But the policy-frame change-over has not been quick and effective. The involvement of the villagers into the programme where they could deliberate and ecide issues concerning their livelihood through the forest management is, by its nature, very delicate and difficult to achieve. Not only has the hard-crusted resistance to be broken down by winning confidence and proper education through information and knowledge, the due recognition tot he villagers' innate ability and wisdom has to be extended so as to make them equal partners in the implementation of the programme.
