Question

give two examples of joint forest management?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Joint Forest Management (JFM) is a partnership in forest management among state forest departments and local communities in India. The policies and guidelines of the JFM were enunciated in the Indian National Forest Policy of 1988 and JFM guidelines of 1990 proposed by the Government of India.

Under joint forest management (JFM), village communities are entrusted with the protection and management of nearby forests. The areas concerned are usually degraded or even deforested areas. However, in Andhra Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh all village fringe forests can come under JFM.

Answer 2

Joint forest management

• The national JFM guidelines were issued in 1990 and 22 states are now implementing the programme

• It includes developing partnerships between the state forest departments and local communities that are dependent upon the forests for their requirements.

• The mechanism includes a village committee known as forest protection committee that enters into an agreement with the forest department.

• The village committee safeguards the forest resources from fire, grazing and illegal harvesting in return for non-timber products and revenue from timber products.

• Thus, it is dependent upon mutual trust and cooperation and has emerged as a form of sustainable forestry.
