Question

Discuss five methods of forest conservation

Answer 1

Methods of forest conservation

1. Deforestation control - cutting of tree should be limited and selective cutting should be done. Young tree should not be cuted as far as possible. Harvesting should be plan and should be optimal for the benefit of forest
2. Methods of farming should be changed - farming practices such as burn slash agriculture should be changed because they are very harmful to the environment and forest.
3. Prevention from forest fire - forest should be protected from forest fires. The dried leaves and bark of trees must be regularly cleared out and chemicals to control fire should be available easily.
4. Regulating overgrazing- overgrazing should be regulated in order to conserve forest and protect them from the verge of exploitation.
5. Local communities - local communities should be involved as they are home to many tribal people. They are dependent on forest for their livelihood
