    Participatory Research in a People's Campaign for their Forests
    (0000) Hiralal, Mohan Hirabai; Tare, Savita
    A wealth of knowledge exists with local people about food, fuel, fodder, fertiliser and other things that directly affect their livelihoods. A large portion of this knowledge remains hidden from the expert eye. Each villager too, does not have the entire set of such knowledge but collectively they come to know most of it. Indigenous knowledge is not restricted to local resources, but also encompasses the patterns and processes of utilising these. This information is used by the people in their struggles for survival and thus contributes in making them more confident, self-conscious and understanding about issues that affect their lives, directly or indirectly.
