The indigenous communities were totally overlooked at the time of demarcation and further attempts were not made to gain the confidence of the local people. Grazing conflicts, policy drawback as regard to keeping beehives in the protected area, failure of the replanting measures to take into account grazing considerations, and low level of environmental awareness particularly at the grassroots level were identified to be among the important constraints. Hence, mechanisms must be laid down to involve the local communities in the planning, management and sharing the benefits therefrom. Appropriate accounts must also be taken on the needs and aspirations of local communities. Measures must also be taken that the policy statements are well taken care of at grassroots level.
Recognition has to be given to the indigenous resource management systems.
Attempts need to be made to strengthen and restore them. Replanting activities should take into account the interest of the local people. Attempts must be made to diversify the species composition to include the threatened species. It also seems essential that the replanting operations start from distant areas less needed for immediate use. The system of ' zonation' could be considered to solve the grazing conflict.
