Solution

The correct option is A Joint forest management
Recognising the significant participation of local communities in the protection of forests, the Government of India introduced the concept of Joint Forest Management (JFM) in the 1980s so as to work closely with the local communities for protecting and managing forests. In return for their services to the forest, the communities benefit from various forest products like fruits, gum, rubber, medicine, etc. and thus, the forest can be conserved in a sustainable manner.
