Though conservation policies have to some extent succeeded in stemming the environmental destruction being caused by rampant industrial and urban growth, in India, these efforts have also had the unintended consequence of creating enemies of the very people who have historically been the strongest conservationists. This volume explores possible ways of resolving the conflicts that have arisen between conservationists and local communities by evolving mechanisms for joint or participatory management of protected areas. This is the first book-length study to discuss the socio-political aspects of conservation in India. As it also outlines an important and concrete method for resolving conflicts between local communities and conservationists, this volume is essential reading for environmentalists and all those engaged with conserving India’s wildlife and biodiversity, as also for those interested in aspects of people’s participation in natural resource management.

The ideology of conservation in India today faces a crisis. Nature lovers, photographers, tourists continue to flock to National Parks, hoping to see the Ranthambor tigers and Bharatpur birds. Forest officials congratulate themselves on increase in the numbers of threatened species. But all is not well. Poachers, supported by politicians and sheltered by local communities, still raid the protected areas. Alienated resident communities around the parks, deprived of their access to natural resources and hostile to conservation, clash with officials. Tigers and elephants confined within restricted areas often attack and kill villagers. This tract traces the roots of such problems to the very ideology of conservation in India, discussing its historical and conceptual basis. The tract argues a need to integrate resident people in the process of conservation and asserts that only through a participatory policy can local hostility be overcome, and local knowledge and resources be mobilised.
