environment
3. An area of nature
covered with
plants vegetation
or trees and in
which all the
living organisms
are independent in
obtaining their
food is called
forest
Importance of Forest
1. Cultural development (Friends of
humanity)
2. Followed principle of live and let live
(look after interest of others selflessly)
3. Trees help to maintain temperature at
desired level
4. Sources of coal and wood
5. Great source of bio energy
6. Forest have favourable affect on climate
and weather
7. Help to decrease dryness in locality
8. Trees and plants are sources of food
production
9. Source to absorb CO2 and release O2
(lungs of earth)
10. Shield against soil erosion
11. Sources of pasturing
12. Control of water flow (momentum of
flood)
13. Provide moisture to soil
14. Noise abatement (absorb unnecessary
noise)
15. Absorption of particulates
16. Natural habitat for wildlife
Forestry in Pakistan
The total area of Pakistan is 88.1 million hectors
and total area of forests in Pakistan is 4.22
million hectors which is 4.8% of the total land
area. However, it may be mentioned here that the
farmland trees and linear planting along
roadsides, canal sides and railway sides covering
an estimated area of 466,000 hectors and 16,000
hectors respectively do not constitute forests
within the context of legal, ecological or
management definition of forests. G:Forest.docx
7000 to 9000 hectors of forest land denuded
per annum. Total Forest Area under the
control of the Forest Departments (including
Azad Kashmir and the Northern Areas) is 4.26
million hectares. Main reason for low
forestation is that more than 70% land area of
Pakistan is Arid and semi-Arid with annual
rainfall of 250-500 mm: too low to sustain
natural vegetation
Development of Forest in Pakistan
1. Every adult person is called upon to plant a
tree every year
2. National plan to plant trees on private and
government lands
3. Techniques of genetic engineering and tissue
culture should be adopted
4. Use large chunks of uncultivable land present
along roads and railway line
5. Fresh saplings be planted regularly
6. Establishment of forest spots along with
highways for rest and recreational
purpose
7. Trees be planted on boundaries of play
ground and parks
8. Budget allocation for forestry sector
should be increased
9. Female workers should be employed
10. Suitable varieties of plants be grown
extensively
