Conflict In Policy Implementation: A Case Study In An Exploited Forest Landscape Of South Assam
Shovan Dattagupta, Abhik Gupta
Abstract :
Forest management in the form of Joint Forest management (JFM) is a symbiotic associational approach of two major stakeholders – forest dwellers and forest department. In Inner Line Reserve forest (ILRF) large–scale plantations of timber yielding tree species like TectonagrandisGmelinaarboreaetc were undertaken without giving much importance to augmentation of diversity of NTFP–yielding plants that are effectively important for the livelihood of the forest villagers. In order to preferentially maintain the growth and health of a few commercially important target species the other naturally regenerating herbs, shrubs and tree were eliminated following classical silvicultural technique. Severe falling of tree species at premature stage regularly occurred in the plantation site of the forest department, predominantly in the plantation of JFM. This paper analyses policy assignation and conflict of interest among stakeholders in ILRF in the light of recent legislations on non– timber forest product utilization and the right of forest dwellers
