The document discusses resource conflicts between indigenous communities and governments/corporations in India. It provides historical context on colonial-era forest policies that alienated tribes from their traditional lands. Subsequent policies failed to recognize tribal rights, leading to current conflicts over mining, plantations, and tiger reserves. The Forest Rights Act of 2006 aimed to address this, but implementation has been problematic, fueling activism and the ongoing Maoist insurgency. Cases from Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Telangana illustrate persisting tensions.
Decentralizing & Recentralizing Nrm In Indonesia: How Local Can You GoGRS UBC
The document discusses reconciling decentralization and recentralization of natural resource management in Indonesia. It describes Indonesia's importance internationally due to its large population, democracy, and natural resources. Decentralization has strengthened local governance but also created challenges between administrative levels. Problems include uncertainty of land tenure and undervaluation of forests. Ongoing initiatives and outcomes-based regulation are suggested to harmonize jurisdictions and improve natural resource management, community participation, and sustainability.
Trends in Forest Ownership and Tenure_Indonesia StudiesVince Deschamps
1. The document analyzes case studies from Indonesia on trends in forest ownership, tenure rights, and management approaches and their impacts on forest management and poverty reduction.
2. Key findings include that collaborative management structures supported by customary law can improve forest management and reduce poverty, and that communities utilizing customary law tend to have healthier social and ecological conditions than agriculture-dependent communities.
3. The document also discusses specific case studies of collaborative forest management initiatives between communities, concessionaires, and local governments in Berau district and Lore Lindu National Park that have led to improved forest protection, conflict resolution, and economic benefits for communities.
Patrick McAuslan: Legal dimensions to providing for customary forest rightsRights and Resources
The document discusses the legal dimensions of providing for customary forest rights in legislation. It outlines 10 principles for recognizing customary and statutory tenure systems equally. It then summarizes Tanzania's Forest Act of 2002, which recognized customary tenure as equal to statutory tenure and established processes for investigating customary claims and managing forests through community forest groups. The key lessons are that national policy must guide forest laws to recognize customary tenure; a participatory process is needed to document customary rights; and community forest reserves should be legally recognized and supported.
The document discusses various types of tropical forests and issues related to deforestation. It defines tropical forests and describes different types including rain forests, mangrove forests, dry forests, savannas, cloud forests. It highlights the importance of tropical forests in terms of biodiversity and resources provided. The document then discusses the threats posed by deforestation and lists key factors driving deforestation such as clearing land for agriculture, demand for firewood, and logging for timber.
Participatory Forest Management (PFM) is a strategy for sustainable forest management that encourages local communities living near forests to manage or co-manage forest resources. PFM aims to involve local stakeholders in decision making for forest management. In the 1980s, governments began decentralizing natural resource management to local institutions to reduce costs, more effectively protect resources and local livelihoods, and increase local responsiveness and efficiency through community participation and skills. PFM strategies include Community Based Forest Management, where villagers fully own and manage village lands, and Joint Forest Management, where government and communities collaboratively manage government forest reserves.
This document discusses logging in Malaysia and the challenges of sustainable forest management. It notes that Malaysia's deforestation rate has increased rapidly and logging, both legal and illegal, has contributed to forest loss. The document reviews literature on the environmental impacts of logging and identifies issues with achieving sustainable forest management in Malaysia due to illegal logging activities. It then proposes ways to prevent illegal logging, including stronger law enforcement of logging policies, public education on forestry, reforestation programs, and establishing forest reservations.

Forest Rights Act_Background: By Madhu Sarinbmbks321
The document discusses the need for the Tribal Forest Rights Bill in India. It notes that millions of tribal families have been evicted from forest lands since the 1990s despite having lived there for generations, resulting in human rights violations and poverty. The document argues that India's forest policies have historically disenfranchised tribal communities of their customary land and resource rights through unclear land records and the designation of lands as forests without local consent. The proposed bill aims to recognize the traditional forest rights and occupations of tribal communities as a way to rectify past injustices and ensure their livelihoods and habitats are protected.

Forests are complex ecosystems that support a diversity of plant and animal life. They also provide resources that local communities rely on. However, forest biodiversity is increasingly threatened by activities like deforestation, fragmentation, and unsustainable extraction of resources. [1]
Access and benefit sharing (ABS) aims to regulate how genetic resources and traditional knowledge from forests can be obtained and used. It seeks to ensure communities consent and share benefits from commercial uses of their resources and knowledge. However, there are gaps in how ABS is implemented regarding forest access, benefit sharing, and protection of traditional knowledge. [2]
ABS frameworks also raise issues around commodifying resources traditionally viewed as communal property. Overall, there are open questions
The document outlines reforms to Peru's forest sector legislation and institutions to promote sustainable forest management, including establishing a new forest zoning system, mechanisms for communities and companies to access forest resources, efforts to reduce deforestation and illegal logging, and initiatives to improve forest monitoring and transparency.

Co-Management of forest resources in MalawiFMNR Hub
Co-management of forest resources in Malawi aims to reduce deforestation and poverty by giving local communities decision-making power over surrounding forests. A 2003 program established co-management partnerships in reserves like Zomba-Malosa to sustainably manage forests for subsistence needs. Impacts included improved livelihoods through natural resource access and management training. However, challenges include elite capture of benefits, unclear revenue sharing, and lack of participation from all community members and stakeholders. Continued support of co-management initiatives is needed alongside improved monitoring, transparency, and broader awareness and involvement.
The Forest Rights Act 2006 was intended to recognize the rights of India's poorest and most marginalized people including tribal communities and traditional forest dwellers. It entitles individuals and communities rights over land they have traditionally inhabited and empowers local village councils to initiate the forest rights recognition process. The key rights include land rights, use rights, rights to protect forests, and community rights over minor forest produces. It aims to ensure livelihood security and recognize the cultural and religious rights of forest-dependent communities.
Dual system of customary tenure recognition in forests in Indiamrlgregion
The Forest Rights Act of India (FRA) was enacted in 2006 to secure the rights of forest-dwelling communities and transfer forest governance authority to local right holders. The FRA recognizes rights related to habitation, cultivation, access to forest resources, and community forest management. However, implementation has faced challenges from lack of political will and resistance from forest bureaucracies. While over 2 million acres of land have been recognized under the FRA, this represents only 3% of the potential land that could be recognized, as 97% remains unaddressed due to bottlenecks in the process.
This document contains information about the Forest Rights Act of 2006 in India, including the contents, act, rules, guidelines, and forms related to implementation. It begins with an overview of the Forest Rights Act of 2006, which recognizes and vests forest rights and occupation in forest land for Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers. It then outlines the comprehensive tribal rules, forms for implementation, guidelines for the act, and other details related to recognizing rights to forest land.

Trees gives more than what we are giving to trees. We are not giving anything to trees even though we are not protecting trees. Indian government proposed a act to preserve the forests that means trees. These slides contains information about why we need to protect forests as well as why we need to adhere forest conservation act.
Forests and wildlife are important natural resources that need to be conserved. Forests preserve biodiversity, provide habitat and resources, help control climate and rainfall, and prevent soil erosion. Wildlife also preserves biodiversity and maintains ecosystems. Conservation efforts include afforestation, preventing deforestation, banning poaching, and establishing protected areas. Sustainable use of natural resources like land, water, forests and energy is important.
The 1988 National Forest Policy aimed to ensure environmental stability and ecological balance by maintaining at least 1/3 of India's total land area under forest cover. It sought to meet the needs of local communities, conserve natural heritage, and increase forest productivity through afforestation programs. Key strategies included protecting existing forests, discouraging agricultural conversion and non-forestry land use, strengthening biodiversity conservation, and encouraging forest-based industries to source raw materials from outside forest areas. The policy emphasized forest extension, research, and improved personnel management to effectively implement its objectives.

13. the scheduled tribes and other traditional forest dwellers act, 2012 gp2PROF. PUTTU GURU PRASAD
The document discusses the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 which recognizes the rights of forest-dwelling communities to land and resources in India. It acknowledges those who reside primarily in forests and depend on forests for livelihood. The Act provides tenurial security to live and cultivate land, access forest produce, and community-based forest governance. It also recognizes ownership rights over minor forest produces like bamboo and tendu/kendu leaves. Gram Sabhas play an important role in sustainable forest management and ensuring access for right holders under the Act.
1) India formulated its first forest policy in 1894 based on a report by Dr. Voelker. This policy focused on revenue generation and classified forests into different categories. It did not adequately address issues like shifting cultivation, forest fires, or biodiversity conservation.
2) The 1952 policy was India's first after independence. It aimed to balance land use and check issues like soil erosion. It classified forests into protected, national, village, and tree land categories.
3) The 1988 policy aimed to ensure environmental stability and ecological balance. It focused on meeting energy demands, conserving wildlife, and increasing forest productivity and tree cover.
- Traditional forest management in India involved decentralized control by local communities until the 19th century when the British declared forests as government lands.
- In the late 20th century, unsustainable commercial exploitation led to massive deforestation, restricting forest resources for rural communities.
- Joint Forest Management (JFM) policies began in the 1980s and 1990s to involve local communities in forest protection and management, establishing institutions like Village Forest Committees.
- Kerala's JFM model includes different institutions for different forest areas, like Vanasamrakshana Samithis for reserved forests and Adivasi Vanasamrakshana Samithis for tribal forest areas.

As one of the most populated tropical forest countries in the world, Indonesia faces huge challenges in balancing development, livelihood improvement of its citizens and conservation of its natural assets. Many stakeholders are not involved in the process. An important step to improve the current situation is to facilitate a more collaborative land use planning and allocation process that benefits all parties.
Through a series of multiple stakeholder workshops over a two-year period, PPA allowed diverse actors and interests to jointly predict and anticipate trajectories of land use change.

This document discusses the need for new approaches to forestry education to address changing realities in forest management. It notes that forest management is now a multidisciplinary task that requires professionals who can consider environmental, economic, and social factors simultaneously. Forestry education will need to focus on topics like community-based forest management, landscape-level planning, cross-sector collaboration, and addressing global agreements locally. Individual schools cannot do this alone - the document advocates for partnerships between institutions and capacity building for educators. It describes an initiative to develop online courses on sustainable forest management topics through collaboration between forestry colleges across the Asia-Pacific region.

Will agricultural intensification save tropical forests?CIFOR-ICRAF
1) The document discusses whether agricultural intensification can save tropical forests by reducing the need to clear more forest land for agriculture.
2) It presents two opposing views - the "Borlaug world" view that higher agricultural yields will reduce deforestation, and the "Jevons world" view that higher yields could increase deforestation by making agriculture more profitable.
3) The document concludes that whether agricultural intensification reduces or increases deforestation depends on the demand elasticity for agricultural products - inelastic demand favors forest preservation, while elastic demand could increase deforestation. Proactive policies are still needed to ensure forest conservation.

The Forest Rights Act of 2006 recognizes the rights of forest-dwelling communities in India to land and resources. It was enacted to address historical injustices done to tribal communities under previous colonial-era forest laws. The Act empowers tribal communities by giving them ownership rights over land they hold and continuing access to forest resources they depend on for livelihoods. It aims to strengthen conservation efforts while also improving livelihood security and self-governance of forest communities.
Forest Rights Act (2006)
The Forest Rights Act, India or the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act is also known by other names like the Tribal Rights Act or the Tribal Land Act.
It deals with the rights of the communities that dwell in the forests (including Scheduled Tribes), over land and other resources, which have been denied to them over the years because of the continuation of forest laws from the colonial era in the country.
The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 is a result of the protracted struggle by the marginal and tribal communities of our country to assert their rights over the forestland over which they were traditionally dependent.
Livelihood security in the wildlife conservation VikeshKumar49
This document discusses livelihood security for communities living near forests in India through the Forest Rights Act of 2006 and Joint Forest Management programs. It provides background on how local communities previously had no legal rights to forests or forest produces. The Forest Rights Act aims to grant legal recognition of traditional forest rights to communities and make them partners in forest conservation. It outlines various rights granted, like rights to hold forest land, grazing areas, collect minor forest produces. Issues in implementation include lack of awareness, unclear community boundaries, and tension with previous joint forest management structures. Recommendations include strengthening community involvement in claim recognition and management.

A brief overview of forest tenure reform in IndonesiaCIFOR-ICRAF
This presentation, delivered at the Inception Workshop in Jakarta, describes the state of forest tenure reform in Indonesia. Topics include forest tenure categorization, the gender dimension, and the various legal structures that forest tenure can take in Indonesia.
This document discusses several key Acts related to biodiversity conservation and traditional knowledge in India. It outlines the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act of 2006, which aims to protect the rights and culture of forest-dwelling tribes. It also summarizes the objectives and provisions of the Plant Varieties Protection and Farmers' Rights Act of 2001, which establishes protections for plant breeders and recognizes farmers' contributions to conservation.
This document discusses forest resources and conservation in India. It defines forests and describes their global distribution and importance. It also classifies different forest types and examines the current status of forests worldwide and within India. Key points include that India's forest cover is 24.01% of its geographic area, with the highest forest cover states being Madhya Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. The ecological and economic significance of forests is outlined, as well as the major causes and impacts of deforestation in India. Forest management and conservation efforts are also summarized, including key Indian forest laws and policies from 1855 to the present.

FOREST RIGHTS ACT 2006 AND PESA ACT 1996.pdfSrustiMahakud
The document discusses the Forest Rights Act of 2006 in India. The key points are:
1) The Act recognizes the rights of tribal and forest-dwelling communities over forest lands and resources.
2) It grants community forest rights and individual rights like ownership and access to minor forest produces.
3) Implementing the Act faces challenges like uncertainty over eligible lands and lack of targets for state governments.
4) The Act aims to empower local communities, address poverty, and better manage natural resources.

The document provides information about forest and wildlife resources in India. It discusses biodiversity in different geographical areas and lists some endangered species in India. It describes the classification of species by the IUCN as normal, rare, vulnerable or endangered. It identifies some key causes for the depletion of flora and fauna such as agricultural expansion, development projects, mining, and unequal access to resources. It also discusses the social effects of resource depletion and some conservation methods and policies in India like the Wildlife Protection Act and Project Tiger.
The document discusses the Forest Rights Act of 2006 in India. The act aims to secure tenure rights and other traditional rights of forest-dwelling tribes and communities over forest areas. It recognizes individual and community rights related to habitation, cultivation, use, access to minor forest produces, grazing lands, and community rights over forest resources. The gram sabha or village council is empowered to initiate the process of determining forest rights. Authorities violating the act's provisions can face penalties. While some criticized that the act could reduce forest land for wildlife, its true purpose is to recognize existing rights and not grant new land titles. The act provides legal rights to forest-dwelling communities who previously had no rights over the forests they long inhabited

A Study on the Socio Economic Impact of Deforestation upon the Tribal Village...ijtsrd
Diverse resource of the earth increasing population, pressure on resources and man's differing cultures or ways of life are the major inter related factors which involve in the interaction pattern of man with his planet. In the course of technological development by increasing his range of action, man has intervened more and more with the rest of the organic world. The increasing population and its wants have imposed severe constraints on the natural resources. Constant pressure connected with the increasing requirements for food, fiber and fuel for human, fodder for cattle population and raw materials for industries have led to an increasing rate of destruction of the forest since the turn of the century.

IMPACT OF INDUSTRIALIZATION ON TRIBALS IN INDIAshivraj negi
The document discusses the impact of industrialization on tribal communities in India. It notes that tribes faced increasing dispossession from their lands during British rule as land became a saleable commodity. After independence, development policies prioritized resource exploitation and infrastructure projects over tribal welfare, fundamentally altering tribal lifestyles and relationships to land and forest resources. As a result, tribes experienced high rates of migration, oppression, and exploitation with few benefits from development. This has contributed to the rise of Naxalite movements among dissatisfied tribes.
The document summarizes the key developments in India's forest policy over time. It discusses the British colonial forest policies from the 19th century which focused on commercial exploitation. Subsequent Indian government policies emphasized increasing forest cover, conservation, and involving local communities in forest management. The latest 2018 draft national forest policy proposes increasing plantation forestry and industry involvement while reducing focus on community rights, facing criticism from environmental groups.
Forests are an important natural resource in Ethiopia, providing materials, ecosystem services, and supporting the livelihoods of many. However, Ethiopia's forest cover has declined significantly over time due to population growth and unsustainable use. Forest policy and legislation aim to manage this valuable resource sustainably by outlining principles and plans for forest conservation, protection, management, and utilization, as well as related industries, in order to maximize benefits for society while preserving forests for future generations. An effective forest policy provides guidance for government agencies and helps coordinate decision-making across sectors to balance forest conservation with community development needs.
This document provides an introduction to forest classification. It discusses that forests can be classified based on criteria such as composition, age, climate, structure and habitat. The objectives of forest classification are to study and characterize different forest types, develop suitable management techniques, and avoid waste and costs. Forests are commonly classified based on age (even-aged vs. uneven-aged), regeneration method (high forest vs. coppice forest), species composition (pure vs. mixed), ownership (state, private, community, panchayat), management objective (production, protection, fuel, farm, recreation), growing stock (normal vs. abnormal), and legal status (reserve, protected, village).
The presentation questions the current and future policy directions with respect to the Scheduled Tribes and Forest in India. It also suggests a model for future direction.
