Which of the following are included under Common Property Resources (CPR)?

(A) Pasture lands
(B) Residential unit of a villager
(C) Community forests
(D) Village ponds

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(A), (C) and (D) only

The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (C) and (D) only

• Common Property Resources (CPR) are resources that are accessible to all members of a community and are not owned by any single individual.

• Pasture lands (A), community forests (C), and village ponds (D) are shared resources and therefore part of CPR.

• Residential unit of a villager (B) is private property, not a common property resource.

" CPRs can be defined as community’s natural resource, where every member has the right of access and usage with specified obligations, without anybody having property rights over them. Community forests, pasture lands, village water bodies and other public spaces where a group larger than a household or family unit exercises rights of use and carries responsibility of management are examples of CPRs.".
