Whose Benefit? Role of Eco Park as Policy Instrument in Ensuring Sustainable Forest Management in Bangladesh

This paper brings out the effects of eco park projects on the lives of tribal people and its sustainability with the help of some indicators such as the tribal people's access to their traditional or alternative livelihood; access to participation in decision making process; access to forest lands and resource use; and access to cultural and religious practices. Secondary materials have been used to analyse the available information. Other than this, a brief interview was employed with some related people to have hands on idea on the eco park issue from both the government and the people's perspective.
