I have explained the meaning of the second bullet below Explanation: Communities highly dependent upon the goods and services rendered from their local forest resource." The communities that depend on the goods and services of the local forest resource such as the tribal communities in India and in other parts of asia. These communities and other such communities use the forest resources for fuel, food, making houses etc. This implies that most of their needs are fulfilled by the forest and this results in heavy deforestation by them. One may argue that as they are the closest to the forests and it is their home and their land but at the same time one can not ignore the harm that is done to our environment which belongs to the whole of humanity and not just the tribal people. |

peer agreement (net): +1See explanation below... Explanation: They especially like proposals that can demonstrate that they support (policies of) managing natural resources [=timber, the forest, etc.] that involve participation by the local community [= native inhabitants] --- in other words, you get the locals involved in your project, thus providing work / income for them, rather than bringing in outside labour, for example --- and hopefully, get them to run the project themsleves, so that they are not / do not become too dependent on outside business interests Does that help at all? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs 46 mins (2004-08-20 10:27:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In answer to Ramesh\'s query about \'does demonstrated imply previous references in this field?\' It\'s an interesting idea, but I originally discounted it because the structure of the piece (clumsy though it is) makes it clear (?) that it is the PROPOSALS themselves that must have a \'demonstrated interest\', rather than the PROPOSERS. So I didn\'t see how that could be talking about \'references from previous work\'. However, that could of course be one way of reading it... I figured they just meant that \'in the proposal itself, it must show clearly just HOW they intend to implement these laudable ideals\'. |
