We saw in this chapter that there are four main stakeholderswhen it comes,to forests and wildlife. Which among these should have the authority to decide the management of forest produce? Why do you think so?

Dear Student

The local people staying near the forest should be given the authority to decide the management of forest produce. They can keep a check on and control the misuse of the forest and its goods. They are the ones who do not exploit the forest and they know how to manage so it stays there for their for future generations to come.

​Thanks
