Description
-
The document discusses the Soligas, an indigenous tribal community residing in the Biligiri Rangan Hills (BRT), who traditionally engaged in hunting, cultivation, and the collection of non-timber forest products (NTFPs). With the establishment of the BRT as a wildlife sanctuary, the Soligas retained exclusive rights to extract NTFPs through a cooperative called LAMPS. The document highlights sustainable harvesting practices for various tree species, emphasizing the importance of proper techniques to prevent over-exploitation and ensure the longevity of resources. It also addresses the economic contributions of lichen collection to the Soligas' income and suggests community-based monitoring protocols to enhance sustainable practices. Additionally, it touches on the ecological implications of harvesting methods and the need for adaptive management strategies to balance resource use with conservation efforts.
