Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Since the 1990s, Sri Lanka’s central government has adopted a Participatory Forest Management (PFM) strategy. However, the success of this approach remains unclear, largely due to the absence of impact assessments. In the present study, a qualitative approach was employed to determine whether Sri Lanka’s PFM strategy is a myth or reality. To this end, an analysis was carried out into the genesis of PFM and the aspects of community inclusion. Two case studies were examined to assess local impacts and responses to PFM activities. The findings reveal that, while there have been some positive outcomes, inadequate stakeholder engagement, unequal power dynamics, and lack of tenure security are evident weaknesses of the strategy.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
