Forests and Governance Programme
The Forests and Governance Programme aims to improve forest governance in South Asia by studying the combination of governance regimes, economic policies, cultural changes, and biophysical measures that can lead to sustainable, equitable, and livelihood-enhancing outcomes. The programme focuses on rights, institutions, and governance mechanisms, as well as the ecological and sustainable use of natural resources, and the economic and cultural dependence on forests. The programme engages in various projects, including investigating sustainable livestock grazing practices in Community Forest Resource areas, promoting locally-managed conservation in India's Western Ghats, exploring alternative uses of Lantana and non-timber forest products, co-managing non-timber forest products in protected areas of the Western Ghats, conducting action research on community forest resource management in Central India, and contributing to the Nature4SDGs initiative.
