Participatory Forest Policies and Politics in India Joint Forest Management Institutions in Jharkhand and West Bengal

Participatory Forest Policies and Politics in India Joint Forest Management Institutions in Jharkhand and West Bengal

Originally published in 2004. In a radical breakaway from colonial and postcolonial policies that were based on centralized and revenue-orientated control of forests the government of India announced the Joint Forest Management (JFM) policy resolution in 1990. JFM promised important managerial concessions including share in cash profit from the timber harvest to forest citizens in exchange for management of state-owned forests. The government also asked the Forest Departments to invite village councils and NGOs to take part in the joint forest management schemes. Over a decade since its inception this volume examines the JFM highlighting how state bureaucracy local institutions and NGOs attempt to achieve the multiple goals of meeting subsistence needs rural equity sustainable forestry practices and forest cover conservation. Investigating four institutions - village-based forest protection groups the Forest Department village councils and NGOs - across the States of Jharkhand and West Bengal the book focuses on forest citizens and how they interact with other JFM institutions. In doing so it challenges notions of assumed virtues of moral economy and romanticized views of gender and indigenous knowledge and practices. The monograph also raises issues of social capital (local history politics and leadership) common property resource (CPR) management and incentives for participation. While pointing out various inconsistencies that exist in the participatory forest framework the book also shows the potential of JFM and suggests future directions forest management should take in India and elsewhere. | Participatory Forest Policies and Politics in India Joint Forest Management Institutions in Jharkhand and West Bengal

Forest-Based Biomass Energy Concepts and Applications

Forest-Based Biomass Energy Concepts and Applications

What is forest-based biomass energy and why should we care? Written by environmental expert Frank Spellman Forest-Based Biomass Energy: Concepts and Applications details how forest biomass can be converted to energy and energy products including direct combustion pellets gasification and co-firing. It explores the possibilities of forest-based biomass energy for producing a reliable energy renewable energy source that will not destroy or pollute our fragile environment. Carefully avoiding the influence of media hype and political ideology Spellman points out that every problem has a solution we simply need to find sources and develop them. He delineates common-sense approaches and practical sometimes poetic examples. And he does all this while adhering to scientific principles models and observations. However you need not be a scientist to understand the principles and concepts. Spellman goes easy on the hard math and science and presents the material in a user-friendly manner weaving real-life situations throughout the fabric of the text. Features: Offers complete coverage of forest biomass rather than simply touching on one source Includes several basic and practical mathematical operations illustrated with example problems and explained solutions Examines numerous types of tree stocks Contains information on silviculture Addresses growing transportation energy needs and limited petroleum resources Offers information on the benefits of Agroforestry This is not merely an answer book; it is designed to stimulate thought and new ideas. Although the author answers specific renewable energy and forest-derived feedstock questions he also points out the disadvantages that need to be overcome to make forest-based renewable energy a viable alternative to fossil fuels. He provides a framework of principles you can use to understand the complexity of the situation of substituting a renewable energy source such as forest-based biomass for fossil fuels. | Forest-Based Biomass Energy Concepts and Applications

The bioeconomy and non-timber forest products

The bioeconomy and non-timber forest products

This book provides the first in-depth investigation of how non-timber forest products are an integral part of local national and global bioeconomies. While the plants and fungi that produce non-timber forest products are essential to the sustainability of forest ecosystems peoples' food and livelihood security and sovereignty and thus the bioeconomy are often absent from bioeconomic strategies. Presenting a selection of empirical cases from around the world that engage with the bioeconomy and non-timber forest products this volume reveals how essential these products are to creating a greener and more sustainable future how to to better integrate them into efforts to transition to and expand the bioeconomy and how such efforts can be supported and developed. Chapters analyse how and to what degree non-timber forest products promote sustainable resource use generate employment and contribute to food and livelihood security and poverty alleviation. The volume develops approaches and identifies interventions and policies to support the integration of non-timber forest products into bioeconomy strategies including in national reporting schemes to provide recommendations for future research and practical implementation. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of forest and natural resource management bioeconomics circular economy and ecological economics more widely.

Adaptive Collaborative Management in Forest Landscapes Villagers Bureaucrats and Civil Society

Adaptive Collaborative Management in Forest Landscapes Villagers Bureaucrats and Civil Society

This book examines the value of Adaptive Collaborative Management for facilitating learning and collaboration with local communities and beyond utilising detailed studies of forest landscapes and communities. Many forest management proposals are based on top-down strategies such as the Million Tree Initiatives Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) and REDD+ often neglecting local communities. In the context of the climate crisis it is imperative that local peoples and communities are an integral part of all decisions relating to resource management. Rather than being seen as beneficiaries or people to be safeguarded they should be seen as full partners and Adaptive Collaborative Management is an approach which priorities the rights and roles of communities alongside the need to address the environmental crisis. The volume presents detailed case studies and real life examples from across the globe promoting and prioritizing the voices of women and scholars and practitioners from the Global South who are often under-represented. Providing concrete examples of ways that a bottom-up approach can function to enhance development sustainably via its practitioners and far beyond the locale in which they initially worked this volume demonstrates the lasting utility of approaches like Adaptive Collaborative Management that emphasize local control inclusiveness and local creativity in management. This book will be of great interest to students scholars and practitioners working in the fields of conservation forest management community development and natural resource management and development studies more broadly.

Forest Landscape Restoration Integrated Approaches to Support Effective Implementation

Forest Landscape Restoration Integrated Approaches to Support Effective Implementation

Forest landscape restoration (FLR) is a planned process that aims to regain ecological integrity and enhance human wellbeing in deforested or degraded landscapes. The aim of this book is to explore options to better integrate the diverse dimensions - spatial disciplinary sectoral and scientific - of implementing FLR. It demonstrates the value of an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to help implement FLR focusing specifically on four issues: understanding the drivers of forest loss and degradation in the context of interdisciplinary responses for FLR; learning from related integrated approaches; governance issues related to FLR as an integrated process; and the management creation and use of different sources of knowledge in FLR implementation. The emphasis is on recognising the need to take human and institutional factors into consideration as well as the more obvious biophysical factors. A key aim is to advance and accelerate the practice of FLR given its importance particularly in a world facing increasing environmental challenges notably from climate change. The first section of the book presents the issue from an analytical and problem-orientated viewpoint while later sections focus on solutions. It will interest researchers and professionals in forestry ecology geography environmental governance and landscape studies. | Forest Landscape Restoration Integrated Approaches to Support Effective Implementation

A Vision for the U.S. Forest Service Goals for Its Next Century

Designing the Forest and other Mass Timber Futures

Designing the Forest and other Mass Timber Futures

If we want to continue existing on this earth an era of renewable energy and materials is urgently needed. What role could mass timber with its potential to replace concrete and steel have in ensuring the planet’s survival? This book retraces wood’s passage from stewarded seed in the soil of forests to harvested biomass to laminated walls in a living room through to its disassembly pausing at each step in the supply chain of mass timber to consider the labor and economies involved looking closely at the way wood is grown sourced and transported and its impacts on the biodiversity of the forest and the health of our ecosystems. It explores why historically entrenched contexts of extractivism make such sensitive approaches difficult to cultivate across landscapes and industrial frameworks. Along the way common assumptions about mass timber are debunked including its fire performance its strength and its role in carbon sequestration. Having identified contemporary technical cultural and spiritual gaps preventing the transition towards a fully timber built environment it outlines how we might move forward. A more sensitive species-based methodology is essential with designers as choreographers of carbon transferring and trading between forest factory site and beyond. This will be an important read for anyone interested in our built environment and how to design it to be non-extractive especially those with an interest in architecture urbanism forests ecology and timber as well as students of architecture and design interested in the generative nature of materials and design processes. | Designing the Forest and other Mass Timber Futures
