•Joint Forest Management (JFM) involves

regeneration and conservation of forests

through involvement of village communities

in association with the state forest

departments.

• It involves a contract specifying the

distribution of authority, responsibility and

benefits between villages and State Forest

Relationships between Forest

Department and local communities

have improved greatly due to

JFMPs.

Women protect forests better

because they are more concerned

and conscious about forests.

Smaller the village and greater the

homogeneity, greater the success of

JFMPs.

Success of JFMPs also depends upon strong users groups.

Potential returns from JFM are large and

available to the entire community.

JFMPs reduce greatly the regeneration costs of

degraded lands.
