Joint Forest Management is one of the most important initiatives for protection and regeneration of forests in India. It involves a partnership with the local forest-dependent communities based on mutual sharing of benefits accruing from the forests. It focuses on the decentralized approach of participatory forest management based on the principle of ‘Care and Share’. It supports the socio-economic development of tribals and other forest-dependent communities. The book covers Joint Forest Management and its relevance, challenges, performance, emerging practices and state experiences. It highlights the concept of JFM being used for conservation, sustenance and regeneration of degenerated forest resources. It examines the National Forest Policy and guidelines for Joint Forest Management. It gives details about benefit-sharing and livelihood generation issues of the forest-dependent population. The role of institutions, communities and NGOs in organizing and implementing JFM has been discussed across different states. The book would prove immensely useful for scholars, researchers of forest management, policymakers, planners, Government agencies, NGOs, journalists and general readers interested in the conservation and regeneration of India’s forest wealth. It is hoped that the articles would provide an in-depth understanding of Joint Forest Management, leading to better implementation and success of the programme.
