Conservation Landscapes and Human Well-Being
Siddhartha Krishnan (Redaktør) Soubadra Devy (Associate Editor) (Redaktør) Neha Mohanty (Associate Editor) (Redaktør)
The Himalayas are said to be the youngest mountain ranges in the world. This book studies the well-being of the eastern Himalayan forest-dwellers in terms of their capabilities and functioning. Using Amartya Sen's and Martha Nussbaum's Capabilities Approach, it examines the educational and health opportunities and substantial freedoms afforded to farmers and pastoralists living and working in the Senchal and Singalila Protected Areas of North Bengal, India.
