Most social movements, NGOs and academics, as do many government officials, have good intentions in inventing and suggesting their ideas on social and ecological issues especially on how to mange land and natural resources. However, many of them lack the on-ground sight and overlook the agency of the local people about whom they are speaking of. Although I understand that each collective actor has their reasons in advocating their ideas and local people still have room for determining their life, I still think that it would be better if the ideas publicly advocated by academic and activist thinkers are closer to what local people really need and are applicable to them. It seems to me that many social actors realize the existence of gaps in the relations of different actors due to their differences. However, many people often obscure or overlook the gaps by claiming that they know completely about the others. They thus advocate how they think it should be rather than what is possible in terms of the actual conditions and for benefit of local villagers.
