Dear classmates and friends!
My project plan is open for your comments. I would like to invite you all to drop into my blog. Your feedbacks and suggestions are most welcome. This project plan is not static, but a living document (although I have submitted it to my lecturer for assessment). This is an interactive learning process, where you and your friends can participate actively. I believe, your knowledge and ideas will guide us to taking the future course of collective action for social change.
Thank you very much for your kind participation.
Kind regards
Ashok

প্রিয় সুহৃদ
একাডেমিক শিক্ষা চর্চার অংশ হিসেবে ব্লগ ব্যবহার করছি। আমাদের শিক্ষণ মূল্যায়নের জন্যে প্রত্যেককে একটা করে বিষয় নির্ধারণ করতে হয়েছে। আমাদের এ শিক্ষণ প্রকল্প কেবল একা করলে হবে না, সমষ্টিগতভাবে করতে হবে। সেখানে ক্লাশের সহপাঠীসহ যার যার এলাকার স্থানীয় জনগণ, উন্নয়নকর্মী, গবেষক ও আগ্রহী যে কোন ব্যক্তি এ ব্লগ আলোচনায় অংশগ্রহণ করতে পারবেন।
আমার শিক্ষণ প্রকল্পের বিষয় হিসেবে পার্বত্য চট্টগ্রামের গ্রামীণ বনভূমি’কে বেছে নিয়েছি। আমি কি করতে চাচ্ছি সে ব্যাপারে একটি নমুনা প্রকল্প পরিকল্পনা ইতোমধ্যে তৈরী করেছি। এ পরিকল্পনা সবার মতামতের জন্যে উন্মুক্ত করা হয়েছে (বামপাশে প্রকল্প পরিকল্পনা পৃষ্টা দেখুন)।আগ্রহী যে কেউ বাংলা বা ইংরেজীতে মতামত প্রদান করতে পারবেন। তবে বাংলায় মতামত দিতে হলে তা প্রথমে অন্য একটি ওয়ার্ড ফাইলে টাইপ করে পরে ব্লগে তা পেস্ট করতে হবে।ইংরেজীতে হলে সরাসরি মন্তব্য ঘরে লেখা যাবে।
আপনাদের সবার অংশগ্রহণ একান্তভাবে কামনা করছি।
ধন্যবাদসহ
অশোক

Questions on Village common forests: your ideas can make a big difference
I welcome everybody to my blog. No matter whether you are a student, academic, researcher, community worker or practitioner or whatever position you may hold, you are most welcome to share your ideas, experiences and thought on forestry as well as natural resource management whether it is in Chittagong Hill Tratcs of Bangladesh or any other parts of the world.
Bangladesh is a country, where the rate of deforestation is very high. According to some estimates such as Gain (2002) the forest cover in the country has shrunk to 6%. In spite of rapid deforestation, indigenous communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh, have been able managing village forests commonly known as village common forests (VCFs) in and around their villages. Without government support, under the traditional leadership of mouza Headmen and Karbaries (village heads) indigenous communities have been managing VCFs since long time. However, with the increasing population pressure and privatisation of forests land, indigenous communities are losing control over forests.

VCF in CHT: A sustainable model of forest management
Climate change signifies the deforestation issue as a major development challenge. FAO estimates that 13 million hectares of the world's forests are disappearing annually, and that accounts for 20 per cent of all global greenhouse gas emissions. If deforestation continues at the present rate then the tropical forests may be lost by 2050. ...
