Population growth, forest management and equity issues

The decade of the 1990's is a time of great risk, of great promise, and a time of returning to moral values and equity concerns. Events have accelerated on several fronts - population growth, deforestation and ecological degradation and North-South confrontation - forcing profound changes in the relationship between people, nations, and governments. Whereas, the North identifies population growth as the single most important factor in deforestation,the South raises the question of inequitable resource use and of consumption patterns, life styles and waste in the North. Without rethinking certain basic assumptions of sustainable forestry and sustainable livelihoods, it is difficult to achieve wise forest management. If international agreements are to be successfully negotiated and implemented, industrialised nations will have to assure developing countries that their legitimate concerns for rapid growth and sustainable forms of development will be aided and not hindered. Developed nations have been unable or unwilling to address certain equity issues that are fundamental to developing countries and to wise forest management in their countries. Transformations required for wise forest management within nations are discussed with recent experiences from India. The shift in style of management from control to participation; the shift in priority and emphasis from industrial timber to species which people want; and a shift from bureaucratic to non-governmental structures and decentralised processes has been highlighted in the pursuit of wise forest management. The real challenge is building of ecological societies with less government and less dominance of experts.
