“…seeds from Sri Lanka during 1937 (Aigbedion‐Atalor et al, 2019). In Indian perspective, the introduction of C. odorata to Assam and then Kerala is ascribed to the migration of 2nd World War warriors (Soumya & Sajeev, 2020). However, establishment of agri‐horticultural societies, botanical gardens, and missionaries were also linked with invasive spread of C. odorata (Soumya & Sajeev, 2020).…”

The Anthropocene witnessed the landscape spread of several invasive alien plants which can remarkably influence the ecosystem services and environmental sustainability. To this end, Chromolaena odorata (Asteraceae) is widely identified among top hundred pervasive invaders in view of its adverse influence on environment, agriculture, and wildlife. The adverse effects of C. odorata can further be exacerbated under the event of invasion interaction with other anthropogenic stressors such as climate change. Nevertheless, there exists dearth of pragmatic studies on invasion ecology, socio‐economic impacts, ecological economics, and sustainable management prospects of C. odorata. The present review discusses the invasion ecology, distribution, mechanisms, impacts, and management strategies of C. odorata invasion. The side‐effects and unsustainable use of traditional control measures (e.g., controlled fire and chemical herbicides) of C. odorata paves the way to biological control methods (e.g., gall fly). However, the control measures of C. odorata need to be assessed for their long‐term ecosystem level effects to mitigate the possible adverse environmental responses. The wise application of C. odorata biomass in marginal lands for soil fertility restoration, biosorption, biorefinery, bio‐medicine, and bioenergy in conjunction with ecological control measures can cover economic incentive to facilitate sustainable management of C. odorata in forestry/agroforestry systems. Nevertheless, the use of weed biomass as feedstock in biorefinery and ethno‐medicine may be inadequate in reducing its invasion. Future studies should explicitly elucidate the ecological mechanisms of C. odorata in concert with the quest for its field‐scale application in biorefinery to augment sustainable management.

“…These consequences include: physical and socio-economic displacement of the marginalized (Agrawal and Redford 2009;Kabra 2013), undemocratic management of natural resources (Bixler et al 2015), unequal knowledge production (Escobar 1998), the costs of living close to wildlife (Barua et al 2013;Ogra 2008), and formation of socio-ecological identity (Großmann 2017). In India, political ecological analysis of protected conservation areas has shown that massive physical displacement results forest dependent communities, mainly Scheduled Tribes (Shahabuddin and Bhamidipati 2014), loss of livelihood and access to resources (Kabra and Mahalwal 2014), capitalist expansion of plantations and accumulation by dispossession (Rai et al 2019), negative ecosystem changes (Soumya and Sajeev 2020), local resistance to these oppressions (Mukherjee 2009), and an increase in negative human-wildlife interactions in forest villages (Margulies and Karanth 2018).…”

En-gendering human-wildlife interactions in Northeast India: towards decolonized conservation

This article applies a feminist political ecology framework to analyze a particular case of human-wildlife interaction from northeastern India, linking it to the emerging paradigm of 'decolonized conservation.' Through the oral testimonies of local community members with regard to living close to wild Asian elephants in a forest-agriculture landscape matrix of rural Assam, this article argues that place-based conceptualizations of 'wildlife', 'forest dependency' and 'living with wildlife' are affected by gendered roles and responsibilities, gendered access to spaces and gendered interaction with wildlife. By doing so, this article argues for (i) extending the discourse on 'decolonized conservation' towards the role of gender in rethinking these place-based conceptualizations and (ii) bringing forward such 'en-gendering' into redesigning wildlife policies, as that will have the potential of ensuring feminist environmental justice as well as positive conservation outcomes.
