What is the main idea behind the "Joint Forest Management Concept" introduced by the Government of India?
(A) Realizing the significance of participation by local communities, the Government of India in the $1980s$ introduced the concept of Joint Forest Management $(JFM)$ to work closely with local communities for protecting and managing forests.
In return for their services in protecting the forest, the communities receive the benefit of various forest products (e.g., fruits, gum, rubber, medicine, etc.).
With this idea, the forest can be conserved in a sustainable manner.
