Question

what are the main objective of jfm​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) Under the Joint Forest Management programme, local communities are involved in the management and restoration of degraded forests.

(ii) The major purpose of the JFM is to protect the forests from encroachments, grazing, theft and fire and also to improve the forests in accordance with an approved Joint Forest Management plan.

(iii) In return, the members of these communities are entitled to intermediary benefits like non-timber forest produces.

Answer 2

Answer:

• JFM's main goal is to make sure that forests are used sustainably to fairly meet local requirements while maintaining environmental sustainability.
• The core element of the argument is that the local women and men who depend on forests at the village level have the most stake in responsible forest management.
• The Indian National Forest Policy of 1988 laid the foundation for JFM by promoting community participation in addressing the basic needs relating to forests and managing local resources.
• Despite being a worthwhile endeavor, Bina Agarwal (2001) has drawn attention to the "participatory exclusion" of some groups due to gender or caste.
