520			_aThe threat of destruction and degradation confronting the forests due to demographic pressure, inadequate investment and inappropriate management on the one hand and displacement of the conventional saviors of forests, the tribals and rural people, in the name of development on the other still loom large on the horizon. This has necessitated a focused rethinking and deliberation on how can we integrate various contrasting motives for exploiting forests and managing this vital part of the commons sustainably. This book is a revised and updated version of the doctoral thesis of the lead author titled Heterogeneity, Common Property Resources and Collective Action: An Empirical Study of Linkages in Villages of Odisha' prepared with the active involvement of the second author for which the former was awarded a Ph.D. Degree by Utkal University in 2012. Although publication of the work was suggested in the viva-voce examination of the thesis, it could not be effected due to his over busy engagement with teaching and other assignments in the Indira Global Business School, Pune. The book successfully integrates the emerging issues of forest usage and management on the basis of the findings of an empirical survey conducted in three districts of Odisha state, India. The book is one of its kinds, which focuses on four contemporary interlinked themes: Dependence, Heterogeneity, Collective Action, and sustainability all integrated into the frameworks of the theory and practice of Joint Forest Management implemeted through the VanaSanrakhyanaSamities/Vana SurakhyaSamities in the state.
