ABSTRACT
The concluding chapter, ‘Conclusion: Inclusion’, focuses on the inclusion of community well-being in conservation policy and practice. It invokes inclusion in terms of ways in which human well-being can be understood. Substantive freedoms to do and be, as a development indicator and outcome, is an infant of an idea in India’s forests. From this Eastern Himalayan study, the chapter draws conceptual and policy implications on the capabilities approach to well-being in conservation contexts.
