The establishment of a penal settlement and an Imperial forestry service, along with other radical changes in the islands' traditional economy and society, completely transformed the basic pattern of their forest resource use and entire system of forest management. These colonial policies, directly or indirectly, had a drastic impact on the indigenous population and island ecology. This article analyses the sources of environmental change in the Andaman Islands by examining the general ecological impacts of the state initiated development programmes. It also analyses the 'civilising missions' and forestry operations undertaken by British colonial administrators as well as the Indian state's development initiatives under the 'Five Year Plans' that followed Indian independence in 1947. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Shima is the property of Philip Hayward and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
