Timber Board Under Agriculture is a Wholistic SolutionGanesan RP
All say grow trees. They are right, even though they may not know the full benefit. And many know wood is eco-friendly. They are right even though they may not know the indirect benefits like wood use will reduce mining, which is good for environment.
But only grower experience the harassment of forest dept and know the policy hurdles.
Tree growing is a challenge which we are ready to face. Bad part is policy hurdles.
I feel, the colonial foot print of forest laws & procedures meant to protect forest is been applied on farmers also. It is not only hurting tree growing in India but feel, may be hurting tree growing in many countries.
So I request UN, UNEP, UNFCC, UNCCD, FAO, IUCN, CITES all study and remove such hurdles for tree growing in all the countries and promote eco-friendly wood instead of metal / plastics.

Red sanders is not an Endangered Species. Representation to IUCN by RP GanesanGanesan RP
Red Sanders tree, Pterocarpus Santalinus, is a dry land tree. It grows in degraded land of hot climate and withstands erratic rain fall. It was classified as an Endangered species in 1998, without an objective study. Sadly it was not assessed for 20 years. Good that now IUCN, Global Tree Campaign is assessing it. Hence I have represented to them the facts and proofs, as a farmer, to remove it from endangered list.
Sadly, there is no interaction between BSI (Botanical Survey of India ) and IUCN. No-one is part of assessment team. They may not even know that it is being assessed by IUCN.
Hope their assessment will remove it from Endangered list, which will be a starting point for removal of hurdles for growing it.
I understand that they will be publishing it by 28th June 2018.
Shri Modiji, Do not Say Grow Trees, Till you Remove Hurdles for itGanesan RP
Tree growing is harassed in India. The laws, procedures created to protect the forest is applied on farm land trees, in the same manner. So, it is a discouraging factor. Due to harassment farmers do not prefer to grow trees, continue with water consuming Sugarcane, Coconut etc. Water Scarcity. Deep bore wells, Ground water goes down. Energy waste. Soil Dries up. DESERTIFICATION. Then all say grow Trees, without changing the policy
Representation to India's Members of Parliament on Hurdles for Tree growingGanesan RP
The noble deed, tree growing is most harassed with policy lapses, old colonial rules & procedures of Forest dept. The fundamental lapses are, applying laws meant for forest protection on farmers and applying conservation issues on farmers without doing it in forest by forest dept.
It is nobodies intention to harass tree growing farmers, but it has happened.
So, representing to all Honorable Members of Parliament of India.
My representation also to UNEP / UNCCD / UNFCC etc because failure in distinguishing farmers trees from forest creates problem internationally, convention and treaties
Hope hurdles for tree growing is removed and eco-friendly wood use for furniture / buildings increase, carbon sink.
Thanking you
Red sanders Actions Required by Govt of IndiaGanesan RP
Red sanders trees is a dry land tree, drought tolerant grow in hot climate. Its heartwood used for medicinal and many more purposes. It is highly demanded globally & valuable.. Unfortunately it is classified as Endangered without objective study, allowed to remain the same by MoEFCC. Hope this detailed presentation will remove all the hurdles and lapses once for all

Red Sanders wood is used for medicine, dye, spices, furniture etc across the globe. But it is restricted for export by GOI. The global need met through smuggling. Tree Growing farmers are struggling due to bad policy. So, Requesting GOI to create a separate policy for Farmer's Red Sanderss Wood.
RPG Representation CITES India MA & SA Aug 2018Ganesan RP
I have represented to CITES India, to make efforts to remove Red Sanders from CITES Appendix II. BSI Kolkatta is now conducting survey for NDF study. That can be extended for this also, as IUCN has removed Red Sanders from Endangered Category and listed in Near Threatened.
Hope MoEFCC, ADGF WL ie CITES MA and BSI Kolkatta ie CITES SA will act upon it and ensure all hurdles are removed for dry land farmers Red Sanders wood.
Red Sanders Facts Presented to NBA 10.10.2016Ganesan RP

Biodiversity Conservation, Sustainability, and Equity: India's NBSAP outcomeschikikothari
India's National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan process in 2000-2003 was possibly the world's largest such exercise, involving over 50,000 people from all walks of life. It resulted in over 70 action plans at local, state, thematic, ecoregional, and national levels. Several methods were used to elicit participation and get inputs, including from local communities. This presentation describes the results, including the key strategies and actions on conservation, sustainable use, equity, governance, and planning. It also notes that unfortunately the Government of India pulled out of the final product, perhaps worried about its clear recommendation that the economy and polity needed fundamental changes if biodiversity conservation and related social equity were to be achieved.

25. Specific lessons learnt
(for sustainability)
– Official recognition of watershed management committees and support from
Government necessary.
– Registration of CBDRM committees requires clear procedures and guidelines
from the government.
– People settling in flood prone areas are at risk. Need for more awareness and
sound land use planning and regulations.
