Abstract

The failure of forest owners and managers to exclude user groups from use of the resource forces them to opt for a collaborative management approach, termed as joint management or comanagement. Joint forest management has been compared with agriculture crop sharing arrangements. With the objective of making joint forest management a sustainable venture, a model based on the cooperative/bargaining nature of the agreements for sharing the forest produce between the two partners has been developed. Shares of the two partners have been worked out for two cases of joint forest management from the state of West Bengal in India, and outcomes have been compared with existing sharing arrangements.
