1) The document describes a role-playing game used to explore landscape management futures in the Western Ghats of India. Farmers make decisions about crop and timber production under different policy scenarios. 2) The game shows that giving farmers tree rights leads to higher incomes from coffee, pepper, and timber sales compared to a scenario without such rights. It also maintains higher levels of tree cover, saplings, and seedlings over multiple rounds of play. 3) Biodiversity indicators like jungle wood and silver oak coverage are also better preserved under a policy that grants farmers ownership rights over tree resources on their lands.
