The correct option is B Joint Forest Management
Jhum cultivation
Jhum cultivation (slash and burn) is a practice to grow crops by clearing the trees or vegetation and then burning the fields.
It is prevalent in the North-eastern states of India.
It is a major reason for deforestation. It also reduces the fertility of the soil and is a reason for land degradation.
Joint Forest Management
Joint forest management is the basis of strengthening the relationships between local people and the forest department on the basis of trust for reliable forest management and resources.
