Summary edit
| Description |
English: Saigata is a small village situated in the Brahmapuri Block of Chandrapur District in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. For over twenty years this village has protected 280 hectares of its surrounding forests. The population of 426 in the village has a multi-caste, multi-religion, non-tribal and tribal composition. The villagers realised in the late 1970s that their survival was linked to the survival of the surrounding forests, which had reached a degraded state. From then begun their work of protection and today the forest has regenerated and harbors dense vegetation. Not only do the villagers find it easier to meet their biomass needs, but the increasing water table has increased the agricultural productivity. Wildlife too has returned to inhabit the regenerating forests. The village has now become a part of the official Joint Forest Management (JFM) Programme. |
