Dear Meena

Prior to this program of forest protection and dwellers rehabilitation I think It would be good to better sensitized local population on the importance to conserve this forest. Dwellers should be sensitized on services provided by the forest; in other words a participatory management approach is needed. Community-based ecotourism will just serve as an example among the max of activities able to generate high income to the forest dwellers. 

My recent article published on Environmental education and ecotourism using research outcomes on Termitaria (Available on my RG profile, also attached) can be useful to you. Moreover, many other articles quoted in this article can help.

Best wishes

Dear Researcher

Village tourism is very much eco-sensitive issue and prior to its application you need to benchmark survey of the natural resources with local people in the area. This very nice object of research as well foreign income withit is also need to conserve and mange the natural resources. I advise to you to visit the Nerul (Near to matheran-Mumbai) a good example of ecotourism.
