In rural India, forest conservation and livelihood security are deeply intertwined, requiring a delicate balance between ecological sustainability and economic dependence. Forests provide vital resources for rural communities, but unsustainable exploitation can lead to ecological damage, impacting future livelihoods. Effective forest management must consider both ecological needs and the economic realities of forest-dependent populations, often through participatory approaches and alternative livelihood development.
