Answer 2

Answer:

Joint forest management was originated in West Bengal accidentally in 1971. According to this policy, there exists partnership between state and local communities in safeguarding forests.

Forests are protected from illegal harvesting and exporting of timber. Forests are also protected from fire and grazing, in exchange people get non-timber products and a share of revenue from the sale of timber.
