THE FOUR MAIN STAKEHOLDERS ARE :
A) Those people who are dependent on forest for their livelihood/food/needs and live in or near the forests.
B) The Forest Department.
C) The Nature savers who’s main aim is to conserve nature.
✳ The authority to decide the management of forest produce should be given to the local people who live in and near the forests. Their material requirements would be less and there would be preservation of environment
The forest department of the government should have the authority to decide
the management of forest produces. This is because the forest department is the
caretaker of the forest land and is responsible for any damage to the forest.
The four main stakeholders are :
(i) The local people who live in and around the forest.
(ii) The Forest department.
(iii) The industrialist.
(iv) The forest and wildlife activists.
The local people should have the authority to decide the management of forest produce because local people use the forest and wildlife resources continuously to fulfill their basic needs and their involvement makes them aware for the conservation of forest and wildlife.
