While they advance eco nomic development in the region by providing various benefits including emp loyment and infrastructure development, development projects are also respo nsible for displacing or restricting resource access to the local communiti es. The creation of compensatory conservation enclosure, as a part of ‘mark et based’ conservation strategy, thus becomes a site for the struggle of ac cess and mobilization of forest resources. One such example is the proposed Omkareshwar National Park Complex in Madhya Pradesh.

It will illustr ate how the locals have to negotiate and renegotiate their access to resour ces by shifting their economic practices. Specifically, the talk will discu ss how altered economic processes and patterns in the proposed ONPC has put a stress on the local livelihoods dependent on forest resources, particula rly the tribals.

Abstract: Creation of the development projects and subs equent conservation enclosures is a customary practice around the world. Wh ile they advance economic development in the region by providing various be nefits including employment and infrastructure development, development pro jects are also responsible for displacing or restricting resource access to the local communities. The creation of compensatory conservation enclosure , as a part of ‘market based’ conservation strategy, thus becomes a site fo r the struggle of access and mobilization of forest resources. One such exa mple is the proposed Omkareshwar National Park Complex in Madhya Pradesh. S ituated in the proximal distance of notorious Indira Sagar and Omkareshwar Dams, this region has a volatile history.

This talk will examine the economic impact of notification and subsequent denotification processes of the park. It will illustrate how the locals have to negotiate and renegotia te their access to resources by shifting their economic practices. Specific ally, the talk will discuss how altered economic processes and patterns in the proposed ONPC has put a stress on the local livelihoods dependent on fo rest resources, particularly the tribals. Not only has this marginalized th e local tribals socially, but is also resulting in increasing labour commod ification.
