概要

論文の詳細を見る
Natural forest in Sri Lanka has been decreased significantly in the last few decades. The remaining natural forests especially in floristic region seven have undergone less conservation efforts in the past. Considering the capacity of the government and dependenceon forest resources by local villagers, the only way for conservation of these forests in the Southwest lowland is forest managementthrough local participation. Management plans for community-based resource management have been completed. However promotionof such management requires integrated measures, which are beyond jurisdiction of Forest Department. A holistic approach withpolitical commitment concerning buffer zone villages and economic incentives with income generation opportunities supported byexternal inputs are expected to be implemented as a matter of urgency.
