Answer: 2

The Chief Wildlife Warden of the State does not govern a Community Reserve. It is managed by the local community through a management committee.

After a forest has been made into a community reserve, people are not allowed to hunt there, or use it for agricultural practices such as Shifting ( jhum) cultivation.

People of such area are allowed to collect non-timber forest produce.
