Abstract:
India's forests are home to remarkable plant and animal biodiversity. The country is among the 17 "megadiversity" countries. Protected Areas in India cover about 14.8 million ha. Representing about 14 per cent of the forest area, consisting of 80 national parks, 441 wildlife sanctuaries and 8 Biosphere reserves (Government of India). However, the condition of several protected areas is poor, because of fire, grazing, and inadequate management. Most of the Protected Areas are not covered by comprehensive management plans. There has been a history of disagreement between wildlife conservationists and human rights activists over the best way to manage wildlife habitats. While wildlife conservationists stress the need to prioritize wildlife protection, human rights activists have been frequently opposed to Protected Areas because of the human rights implications. Over the last few years there has been continuous efforts initiated by civil society organizations to find a middle path and building bridges between local communities, conservationists and human rights activists. The present paper highlights the findings on rich and scientifically relevant ethno-ecological knowledge of tribal forest dwellers & the study focus on the evaluating the findings and build the rationale for incorporation of such knowledge systems in shaping up principles for effective co-management in Protected Areas in western Odisha i.e Karlapat & Sunabeda sanctuary.
