Consensus evolved during the National Consultation process.

Principais problemas abordados pelas melhores práticas

Encroachment of forest areas leading to degradation of land - Since this process and the end objective is totally fair and invites officials to verify the claim, there is public will to prevent future encroachment in the area. |Conflict between villagers and forest department - Giving community right to the village means the relationships between village vis-a-viz the gram panchayat in future will be strengthened with regard to conflict management and decision making.|Protection of forest resources- With ownership of the area, generally comes a sense of responsibility for the area. Hence the proper protection and management of the community forests  will be done

Esboçar problemas específicos de degradação do solo abordados pelas melhores práticas

With little or no control of village community over its forest area and its produce, a section of the community is left with no choice but to overuse the land produce. There is also the issue of overgrazing of livestock and encroachment. So lack of management of the forest area.|

Especificar os objetivos das melhores práticas

To get the tenure rights|In the process of getting the rights, increase the capacity of the stakeholders

Breve descrição das principais atividades, por objetivo

The workers involved in the process and also the officials will get sensitize with the issue and there will be sharing of knowledge. Hence to achieve this we had a project on the operationalisation of the Forest Rights Act 2006 in the year 2008 in partnership with SDC. |Arranged many workshops with different stakeholders and at various platforms.
Follow the procedure as given in the Forest Right Act to get the tenure right. This involves holding Gram Sabha in the village plus verification of the site with patwari and Forest Department

Yes Initially in the form of the forest protection committee but later on in consultation with the Joint Committee on Forest Rights Act we applied in the name of the complete village population.

Descreva os impactos no local (os dois principais impactos por categoria)

Fostering Community Cohesion as well as sensitization about the right to ownership and access to forest produce
Encouraging people to realize the need to conserve the ecology through regenerative measures as well as policy level initiatives like the application for community forest rights over certain developed or good forest areas.

Descreva os dois principais impactos fora do local (isto é, não ocorrendo no local, mas nas áreas circunvizinhas)

Learnings towards constructive activism to stave off dangers that come when the responsibilities of the community are being ignored. Therefore we would say how to illustrate the responsibilities when given to community can bear better returns than individual land distribution and dispute settlement.
Policy Level Spin-offs in terms of the methodology and the process followed in the same.

Impacto sobre a biodiversidade e a mudança climática

Explique as razões:

Practice is to focus on community managed forests ecosystem by using the various policies that have been promugulated. The quality of forest is an insurance against the failures of mosoon for the marginal farmers as minor forest produce & moisture vaialibity due to green cover reduces vulnerabilty
Regeneration of forest through plantation and protection helps in mitigation of through carbon sequestration
