This document discusses forest conservation in India. It provides background on the need for forest conservation due to population growth and environmental issues. It then outlines several key steps the government of India has taken for forest conservation, including establishing a National Forest Policy involving joint forest management with local villages, conserving reserve forests, gaining involvement of local people through awareness campaigns, adopting afforestation schemes, and increasing forest productivity through management practices.

7. More trees should be planted to increase
the forest cover. Trees should be selected
according to the geographical conditions
of a particular region and proper care
should be taken during the growth of
trees. Prevention of exploitation of
forestry and forest products is necessary
for the conservation of forest.

9. Some of the important steps taken by the
government in the regards of forest
conservation in India are as follows:
Population explosion has resulted into
indiscriminate cutting of forest cover due to
increasing demands for land area for
industrialization, urbanization and cultivated
land etc.

10. The adverse consequences of this have
resulted into various environmental issues
that are now coming into existence like
Global warming, Pollution etc. So there is
immediate need of forest conservation.
Following are some steps in this regards:

11. 1. National Forest Policy:
In this policy Joint Forest management and local villages
worked together to manage forest. For this local villages were
credited with 25% of the income of that particular forest area.
2. Conservation of Reserve forest:
Reserve forests are mainly located in Himalayan, Eastern Ghats
and Western Ghats together with national parks and
sanctuaries. In all these areas, commercial exploitation should
be banned.
3. Local People Involvement: Common people can play an
important role for forest conservation. But the need is that
there should be awareness among peoples. Public support must
be generated to achieve the goal of forest production. One of
the movement was Chipko Movement (1972).

12. 4. Adopting afforestation Scheme:
Forest serves as a source of raw material for commercial sector
of the country. So to fulfill this need for forest based industries
for longer time, plantation should be promoted in the barren or
fallow land.
5. Increasing Forest Productivity:
The productivity of forest can be enhanced by:
(a) Proper Forest Management
(b) Supplying proper nutritional demand to the plants by
inorganic and organic fertilizer.
(c) Controlling disease, pests and weed by adequate
insecticides, pesticides and weedicides.
(d) Use of advanced technique for forest tree breeding and
tissue culture method.
