Capacity Building for Biodiversity Conservation in Community Forest Management in Himalayas
The traditional system of management of forests around villages by communities through institutions called Van Panchayats in Uttaranchal State of India is, over the period of time, withering away due to indifference of bureaucracy, decreasing interest of the people in community management of resource and lack of knowledge about rights and responsibilities.
The project will be implemented by:
- Networking
- Meetings
- Field surveys
