Knowledge Sharing on Forest Protection & Conservation:

Villagers from Nachhipur and Ghugudipada Gram Panchayats visited NIRMAN program area of Bankataila, Uparadikiri, and Ranijhari villages of Nayagarh district as an exposure visit to know about forest protection, conservation, and community-based forest management.

They were eager to learn how forest protection, conservation, and sustainable management activities are being effectively carried out through the Gram Sabha.

They were told that initially the forests were facing several challenges such as illegal tree felling, forest degradation, and forest fires. Later with the active leadership of the Gram Sabha and support from NIRMAN, the villagers collectively started forest protection and conservation initiatives. Through continuous collective efforts, awareness, and knowledge about the Forest Rights Act (FRA), the situation improved.

At present the Forest Department is working in coordination with the Gram Sabha. Community Forest Rights (CFR) claims were prepared under the Forest Rights Act, including the process of mapping, collection of evidence, and documentation. There were difficulties faced during the claim process and but were collectively resolved to secure CFR rights post which CFR management plans have been prepared and are being implemented.

The visitors were delighted to know the benefits due to forest protection and conservation, such as improvement in water availability, increased availability of forest produce and wild fruits, protection of wildlife, and enhancement of local livelihoods.

Through this exposure visit the participants gained valuable knowledge, inspiration, and practical understanding about community-led forest governance and conservation through the Gram Sabha. They resolved to emulate the practices in their own areas.

Humanity still survives in remote villages.
This is not a mango market but a mango distribution center. The villagers protect the mango trees in their vicinity through the traditional thenga pali system. Then the villagers organize to harvest the mangoes that are distributed with preference being given to vulnerable households. Mangoes are not harvested from the trees that are near the forests. Those mangoes are allowed to remain in the trees for the consumption of monkeys and wild animals.

Awareness Campaign on Indigenous Seeds;

A key component of climate resilient farming is the use of indigenous seeds. An awareness campaign has been launched in NIRMAN program areas to broaden the efforts to protect and conserve indigenous varieties which are now in demand as farmers appreciate their qualities and can carry forward the varieties on their own without having to depend on market forces for seed.
