摘要

Livestock grazing in forest is significant in developing countries including India. About 60% of the world's pasture land, just less than half the world's usable surface is covered by grazing system, which supports 360 million cattle and over 600 million sheep and goats (Steinfeld et al., 1997). The diverse opinion on the impact and implication of such grazing is well documented. The majority of workers have indicated a very positive relationship between livestock and deforestation (Downing, et al.,1992; Pearce and Warford, 1993; Kaimowitz, 1996 and Teuscher, 1998), yet some consider positive impact of grazing on forest resources (Quarro, 1986; Faminow, 1998 and Kotiluoto, 1998). The Animal Health and Production division of FAO has taken a stand that the role of livestock as agents of environmental damage has often been misunderstood and consequently misrepresented. Even, the presence of livestock keeping forest dwelling communities are viewed by the forestry experts, economists and other agenciesas a cause of forest depletion while anthropologists and ecologists have argued that the pastoralists have developed sustainable mode of pasture management based on sound knowledge of forest ecosystem (Bollig and Schulte,1999).The arguments in this regards including the relocation of such communities are manifold and well documented. One such community called Van Gujjars who solely live on animal husbandry inside the forest of North India was studied in order to assess the actual scenario.
