The relationship between the indigenous tribal people and the available natural resources around them is multi-facets. The present book examined and analyzed four issues such as the degree of dependency of poor tribals on natural resources in general and forests in particular, how far they are responsible for the destruction of these valuable resources in recent years in the region, to what extent the poor tribals are affected by the depletion and degradation of those God gifted resources on which they depend significantly, and the indigenous wisdom of management of natural resources including institutional factors that prevail in the self-governed tribal society.
