Conceptual Framework for initiating forest mosaic integrated landscape management - IBRAD Model: Participatory Approach to ecosystem restoration for enhancement of ecosystem services

Abstract

A conceptual framework of initiating forest mosaic integrated landscape management has been tried with encouraging results by undertaking the agriculture, waterbody, pasture and trees outside the forest as part of forest ecosystem. The National Working Plan Code and Forest Rights Act 2006 calls upon integrating and conserving the community forest resources. Participatory action research involves the community as a partner to foresee the benefit of conservation and take actions.
