Descripción
Bangladesh is a developing country with high population density. The forest cover of Bangladesh is blessed with rich biodiversity. Besides, forests provide us every necessary product. So, conservation of existing forest resources is essential for meeting our daily needs and as well as mitigating climate change effect and adaptation efforts. Management of existing forest resources is not an easy task because there exists always an implementation problem since the very beginning. In the past the forest areas of Bangladesh were managed by the Forest Department (FD) through traditional forest management practices. But, in today’s time the fluffiest scenario has been converted. Now a days people-oriented approaches are getting popularity for their effective results. Co-management in protected areas is considered being one of the effective approaches. As local community have priority in this approach for taking decisions with the other relevant stakeholders so, strong vertical linkage between the local stakeholders and the government is needed for ensuring fruitful conservation efforts. Otherwise, conflicts will be arrived in different phases of management. This paper focuses on analysis of the present condition of forest co-management approach in Bangladesh, to identify the multiple actors and institutions of co-management and to show how co-management can be a solution for ensuring vertical linkage between the stakeholders and the government such as; the participation of local community in decision making creates links with the state actors. These fundamental issues are illustrated with observations on resource co-management in some Protected Areas (PA) of Bangladesh. This study demonstrates the form of vertical interplays and determines its contribution to provide guideline for entire community participation, Proper policy implementation.
