Question

Why are the Arabari forests of Bengal known to be a good example of a conserved forest?

Answer 1

• The forest department developed a strategy in which the villagers were involved in the protection of the forest. 
• In return for the labour, the villagers were paid and also had some benefit in harvesting operations. 
• They were allowed to collect wood and fodder on payment of nominal fee.
• In this way, by the active and willing participation of the local people, the sal forests of Arabari were conserved.
