												Bhadra Voluntary Relocation India
BHADRA VOLUNTARY RELOCATION INDIA INDIA FOREWORD During my tenure as Director Project Tiger in the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India, I had the privilege of participating in voluntary relocation of villages from Bhadra Tiger Reserve. As nearly two decades have passed, whatever is written below is from my memory only. Mr Yatish Kumar was the Field Director of Bhadra Tiger Reserve and Mr Gopalakrishne Gowda was the Collector of Chikmagalur District of Karnataka during voluntary relocation in Bhadra Tiger Reserve. This Sanctuary was notified as a Tiger Reserve in the year 1998. After the notification as tiger reserve, it was necessary to relocate the existing villages as the entire population with their cattle were dependent on the Tiger Reserve. The area which I saw in the year 1998 was very rich in flora and fauna. Excellent bamboo forests were available but it had fire hazard too because of the presence of villagers and their cattle. Tiger population was estimated by Dr. Ullas Karanth and his love for this area was due to highly rich biodiversity. Ultimately, resulted in relocation of all the villages from within the reserve. Dr Karanth, a devoted biologist was a close friend of mine and during his visit to Delhi he proposed relocation of villages. As the Director of Project Tiger, I was looking at voluntary relocation of villages for tribals only from inside Tiger Reserve by de-notifying suitable areas of forests for relocation, but in this case the villagers were to be relocated by purchasing a revenue land which was very expensive. -

DEPTH-WISE DISTRIBUTION OF SOIL-CARBON STOCK UNDER SHADED- PERENNIAL AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS: CASE STUDIES FROM INDIA AND COSTA RICA By NILOVNA CHATTERJEE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2018 1 © 2018 Nilovna Chatterjee 2 To my late grandfather R. K. Sen Sharma 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS At the outset, I am indebted to my parents, Biman and Gouri Chatterjee for their relentless support of my decision to endeavor on this career path. While the decision did not come without its consequences— moving 8,800 miles away from the familiar East to the foreign West only added to the challenge. In this spirit, I would not have been able to dream of an education abroad had it not been the grace and kindness of my advisor Dr. P.K. Nair and the School of Forest Resources and Conservation who offered me a Graduate Research Fellowship to pursue this program. Even though, I lacked formal training in forestry and soil science, Dr. P.K. Nair believed in my enthusiasm and abilities to pursue a doctoral degree in soil carbon sequestration. His excellent mentorship weaved in with critical comments, patience, and suggestions have helped me throughout my doctoral program and I consider him as the most influential mentor in my academic life. I am thankful to Dr. Vimala Nair, who showed her concern for me through these four years. Dr. Vimala Nair facilitated the laboratory work in the Soil and Environmental Chemistry Lab at the Soil and Water Sciences department. -
