Open grazing Livelihoods in Jhabla were traditionally dependent upon land, livestock rearing and forest produce. Increasing population led to fragmentation of land holdings resulting in a decrease in privately owned pasturelands as more and more land was brought under cultivation. This resulted in people resorting to open grazing practices on nearby forest lands and common village wastelands. The increase in human and livestock population, over-exploitation and encroachment of common lands, and adverse weather conditions gradually led to the degradation of village common lands. |
