Abstract

Study on the scenario of pollution and sustainable forest management in Rewari district was carried out to map the forest cover areas till 2013, crown density analysis of reserved forests and potential afforestation sites. IRS 1B LISS II data was compared with latest data from forest department Rewari. The study area covers 1559 sq. km and consists of tropical thorn forest with some tropical dry deciduous species. Forests covers 3587 ha. area of the district. These are classified into three categories- closed forest, open forest, and block plantations. The study concluded that area occupied by different potential afforestation sites was 13069 ha., which constitute 8.36% of total area. These mainly comprise of scrubland, degraded pasture, degraded block plantation, sands and rocky/ gravelly lands. Major causes identified for low forest cover are arid climatic conditions, scarcity of water and poor soils. Man made reasons for forest degradation are over grazing, soil erosion, unauthorized cutting of trees. To protect existing forest and social forestry plantations: fencing, effective watch and ward staff, causalty replacement and educating rural masses about forest are recommended. Certain tree species suitable for afforestation have been recommended. In this study sustainable development of Rewari area by forest department with new herbal parks and their future plans to increase no of trees in Rewari to minimize pollution.
