Management of Government Forest: Buldhana Division

Recent years have seen a number of changes in the management of forests. There is a major shift towards a more decentralized and people oriented forestry. Responding to scarcities, villagers have started organizing themselves to reverse degradation and restore productivity. The result has been a renewal of degraded ecosystems.
The destruction of natural forests for timber, cropland, fuel wood, pasture, urbanization have had an impact on many poor rural families who are dependent on forest resources for fuel, fodder, food, medicine, housing etc. The deterioration of forests has accelerated soil erosion, sedimentation of rivers, tanks, increased flooding, and over- taxed the land’s capacity to regenerate and sustain. It is now being recognized that local communities need to be involved in establishing sustainable forest management systems.
The various initiatives have led to greater access and control of forest resources by local people, in turn resulting in improvement in forest protection and management and reducing pressure on resources. Substantial areas of degraded forests have been taken up for rehabilitation and new plantation in 25 ha. Land has been raised. Local people have started supporting forest conservation where they have been able to reap financial returns from benefit-sharing schemes.
