    Eucalyptus - a disastrous tree for India
    (1983) Vandana Shiva; Bandyopadhyay, J.
    There has been considerable and acrimonious debate on issues related to social forestry as a strategy for providing the people with their requirements of fodder, timber, firewood and green manure, while arresting the deepening ecological crisis in the country. The debate is not about the unquestionable need for increasing tree cover. It is primarily a debate on the criteria for the choice of species and land for afforestation and appropriate social organisations to ensure the achievement of the socio-economic goals of the social forestry programmes.
