cent of all carbon dioxide emissions. As greenhouse gas
emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun's heat.

11. Social Forestry Schemes

12. Introduction
• The term social forestry was first used in 1976 by
The National Commission on Agriculture, when the
government of India aimed to reduce pressure on
forests by planting trees on all unused and fallow
lands.
• Social forestry schemes are initiatives to conserve,
protect and manage forests, shrub lands, and other
natural resources.
• They are implemented by local communities in
collaboration with governments and non-
governmental organizations.
• These schemes aim to improve the livelihoods of
local communities by providing them with
sustainable sources of income and resources.
• They also help to protect and conserve the
environment by preventing deforestation and
degradation of natural resources.
• They also promote the sustainable use of natural
resources and reduce the impacts of climate change.
The 3 elements of social forestry are
effectiveness, efficiency and equity.

13. Types of Social Forestry Schemes
• Social forestry schemes can be divided into two main
categories:
 Agro-forestry and Community forestry.
 Agro-forestry schemes involve the planting of trees on
agricultural land.
o community forestry schemes involve the management
of forests by local communities.
o Both types of schemes aim to improve the livelihoods
of local communities and protect and conserve the
environment.
o They also promote the sustainable use of natural
resources and reduce the impacts of climate change.
o First social forestry started in Tamil Nadu and Uttar
Pradesh in the riverbank

14. • Challenges
• Social forestry schemes face a number of challenges.
• These include lack of awareness among local
communities, lack of financial resources, and lack of
technical expertise.
• They also face challenges from illegal logging and land
grabbing.
• In order to overcome these challenges, governments
and non-governmental organizations need to provide
financial and technical support to local communities.
• They also need to promote awareness about the
importance of social forestry schemes and the need to
conserve and protect forests and other natural
resources.
