This
paper from the Government of Tamil Nadu elucidates the concept
and approach of Sustainable Livelihoods (SL) and makes a case
for its adoption in forest areas. It analyses the Tamil Nadu
Afforestation Project, a Joint Forest Management (JFM) project
operating since 1997-8, and its evolution into a Sustainable
Livelihood Project.
The authors observe that JFM projects can be converted into
SL projects through enhanced outlay for buffer zone, integration
of line departments, and through decentralising power to local
JFM institutions.
