The Himalayas, often regarded as the youngest mountain ranges globally, are the focus of this comprehensive book. It delves into the well-being of the eastern Himalayan forest-dwellers, examining their capabilities and functioning. Employing the Capabilities Approach developed by Amartya Sens and Martha Nussbaum, the book explores the educational and health opportunities as well as the substantial freedoms enjoyed by farmers and pastoralists residing and working in the Senchal and Singalila Protected Areas of North Bengal, India. Additionally, it discusses the challenges and potential of the Forest Rights Act as a mechanism for delivering well-being.
The book adopts a comparative narrative approach, drawing upon socio-ecological information gathered through interviews, ecological field methods, remote sensing, and participatory rural appraisals. This rich data provides valuable insights into human development within conservation contexts.
The book appeals to a wide range of scholars and researchers, including those interested in conservation biology, development studies, socio-ecological systems studies, political ecology, human development index, ecological economics, environmental sociology, and South Asian studies. It is also valuable for policy-makers and NGOs working in the conservation and livelihoods sectors, as it offers valuable insights and strategies for promoting well-being and sustainable development in these regions.
