Dear Kankana, I am not sure what sustainable management measures have been taken so far in Assam. Here are some thoughts on what can be done in the future amongst others...
Sustainability of a system is the ability to effectively harvest the benefits from the system and yet be able to regenerate the root and maintain a balance. Assam had faced a drought situation last year. This is because there was was an imbalance in the climate. Possibly due to rampant felling of trees. Doesn't meen we should stop felling trees.But we should have a environmental corridor in place to offset the balance before taking up such a massive program. May be a law can be passed that makes it imperative for a person to plant a tree before felling one. This could be an example of ecoregional sustainability. Right now there is a big deficit of fish production in the state. The State consumes 2.73 lakh tonnes a year, but the State produces 1.65 lakh tonnes a year. This is met by vendors from outside the state. If a small group of people would invest in a village cooperative to set up a fishery. I bet this would greatly bring up the quality of life in that village and they will be able to sustain the cooperative. Here there is a one time investment after which the system regenerates finances itself. An example of sustainable cooperative pisciculture. Hope this helps... Mohan R.
