Some key point from the articles (additional ones were brought up in class):
KARNATAKA, INDIA 1980
History: of degradation – lays out needs well
Forests: a way they stayed alive
Stage: early stages of institutionalization – after grassroots
efforts
Focus: just tree-planting, it appears
Participation: where is community? top down, no clear mechanism
for local input (if so maybe different tree spp.)
Critique: started at early stages of govt institutionalization
(common in Asian literature)
Facilitating institutions/ role of outsiders: government, World Bank
A Key Point: Why community forestry? – not just private forestry à
hurt people and forests
(Common property theory - mentioned)
HAYFORK, CA 1999
History: of conflict and degradation
Forests: a way they made a living
Stage: grassroots start-up – but check date 1999 long after Indian
and many Asia cf progs
Focus: capacity-building and bureaucratic reorientation
Participation: via a local non-profit. Inclusive?
Promotional – early stages, personality driven, written up by funder
Facilitating institutions/ role of outsiders: role of NGOs,
Ford Fdn
Key Points: 1) Small business model reliant on public forests
for social good,
2) community forestry as a movement
