Contributor Dhanapal Govindarajulu
Dhanapal Govindarajulu is a postgraduate researcher at the Global Development Institute, the University of Manchester. His current research is on examining social and ecological impacts of forest restoration in India.
India’s forest and wood certification scheme is expensive and won’t necessarily lead to sustainable extraction of forest produce or better forest management.
Lessons from India’s tree plantation experiments and how different approaches to restoring forests have impacted local communities and the environment.
