This
study is a pioneering work on the history and growth
of forestry and its impact on the marginalized population.
It discusses the environmentalism of the poor and
their assertion to manage and use their resource base.
The book is of contemporary concern and deals with
an area which is extremely important from the ecological
poit of view. It is targeted at a broad audience and
speaks of forestry and its impact on the marginalized
population like tribals, the forest dwellers and the
rural women. The author has highlighted issues like
integrated watershed management, the importance of
micro-watersheds as being the smallest unit of development
as well as innovations in forestry and the role of
non-governmental organizations in the forestry sector.
The author has also discussed the strategies for prioritization
of biodiversity conservation and made a thorough probe
into complex issues like human ecology, community
and social forestry, the history of deforestation
and illicit timber trade and forest fires, the root
causes of deforestation. He has not only discussed
and made a delve into the problems but has also suggested
remedial measures.
