Opis

The Similipal forest in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha is the largest wildlife sanctuary and the biggest tiger reserve in India has varieties of species such as; 42 types mammals, 242 types of birds, 30 types of reptiles and 12 types of amphibians. Mayurbhanj district is one of the largest districts in Odisha has more than 60% of SCs and STs population (GoI, 2016-17). The tribes in the district have been collecting forest products especially NTFPs from the Similipal forest for livelihood (Saxena, 1995). In last few years, the collections of NTFPs have been declining due to rampant deforestation and the displacement of tribal people from their traditional habitats but still large numbers of tribal people are collecting NTFPs for their subsistence and monetary income (Kennedy, 2006). Some studies have been made on the livelihood aspect of NTFPs in this forest, but there is lack of studies on NTFPs production, marketing and marketed surplus aspects of NTFPs. This book is clearly analyzed the socio-economic conditions of tribal people who are engaged in collection and marketing of NTFPs. I am sure this book would help to enrich the readers of economics and social science researchers.
