Spatial Modeling in Forest Resources Management
From Genesis to Awaited Success of Joint Forest Management in India2020 •
Forest Matters, April 2015
Decentralized governance and forests in IndiaVillage communities function most successfully when they are situated in a nested series of institutions. Academics often state that villages are self-governing and should have complete control over their natural reources, especially forests, and that the colonial policy of forest reservation was a cause of the alienation of communities, and that JFM (joint forest managment) is likewise against the tenets of panchayati raj. However, the reality is that many communities are successful in protecting their forest resources precisely in collaboration with the state, and do not see any contradiction between the different institutions.

India presents a compelling country in which to examine the evolving state of forest governance. It is noted for its early experiments in social forestry and the programme of Joint Forest Management that emerged from these. A process of decentralisation of forest governance has raised new sets of challenges that require attention. This paper begins by presenting a brief overview of the socioeconomic profile and the state of forests in India. The history of forest management is traced and the emergence of the formal participation of local people in forest management is highlighted as a turning point. After describing the present state of forest governance and forest-related legislation, the paper turns to the progress and challenges associated with the efforts to decentralise forest governance. The Joint Forest Management programme is discussed and the need to further devolve power to the community level is emphasised. Participatory forest management and its various manifestations in the state of Andhra Pradesh are addressed as a case study. Significant gains, such as increases in forest cover are noted, but problems remain, not least of all the asymmetrical power relationships that favour the forest department over local communities. Based on this discussion, a list of policy recommendations for good forest governance in India is presented.
