| Abstract: |
This article explores the forest-based livelihoods of tribal communities in Thuamul Rampur, a block within Odisha's Kalahandi district, from an anthropological lens. Emphasizing how these communities interact with their natural environment, the article delves into the socio-economic, cultural, and ecological significance of forest resources for these tribes. It highlights the traditional knowledge systems, resource management practices, and challenges these communities face due to external pressures on forest resources. The intricate relationship between tribal communities and forest ecosystems in Thuamul Rampur, a remote and predominantly tribal block in Kalahandi district, Odisha. The study adopts an anthropological approach to explore how these communities derive their livelihoods from the forest while maintaining a deep cultural and spiritual connection to their natural environment. Forests serve as a source of food, fuel, medicine, and materials for housing and tools. Beyond sustenance, they are deeply embedded in the cultural and religious practices of the tribes, shaping their identity and worldview. The piece underscores the tribes' traditional knowledge systems, including their sustainable practices of resource extraction, conservation methods, and communal management of forest resources.
The article discusses the socio-economic and ecological implications of forest dependence. It provides insights into how these communities navigate challenges, such as deforestation, climate change, and external pressures stemming from governmental policies, industrialization, and market demands. These pressures often lead to resource depletion and threaten the sustainability of forest-based livelihoods. By bringing forward the voices and experiences of the tribal people, the article sheds light on the need for inclusive policies that protect both the forest ecosystem and the rights of these communities. It argues for the recognition of indigenous knowledge in forest management and the importance of empowering these communities to make decisions about their resources. This anthropological perspective contributes to a broader understanding of the interdependence between tribal livelihoods and forest ecosystems, emphasizing the need for sustainable development initiatives that respect the ecological, cultural, and socio-economic dimensions of tribal life in Odisha.
