Tree species Custard Apple (Annona squamosa), Drumstick (Moringa oleifera), Kashid (Peltophorum pterocarpum), Lemon (Citrus limon), Pomegranate (Punica granatum), Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), Tamarind (Tamarindus indica), Karanj (Millettia pinnata), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Ber (Ziziphus mauritiana), Babool (Vachellia nilotica), and Bamboo (Bambuseae)..
Social Impact
In his paper, ‘Opportunities of Habitat Connectivity for Tiger (Panthera tigris) between Kanha and Pench National Parks in Madhya Pradesh, India’, Chinmaya S. Rathore of the Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal speaks about the importance of tree plantation in restoration of the Kanha-Pench corridor, promotion of nature-based tourism, and integration of the local communities in the process for it to impact tiger conservation efforts. The project has been carried out on public lands, wherein the community will be able to utilise the NTFPs like fruits, tendu leaves, twigs, and fodder. The beneficiaries are mostly women, who say the project has empowered them as well as provided them with the option to work in the vicinity of their homes. The project involves 70 households, creating 3000 workdays for the labour-force, of which 70% are women.
The tribal population stands at almost 96% of the total population where the dependency on the forest-based industry is high. The project will discourage the villagers from participating in illegal activities, like poaching, by providing them with a steady source of income from the forest produce. It will deter wild animals such as wild boars, leopards and other wild cats from straying into human settlements and destroying personal property and croplands by developing a dense buffer zone. Upon maturity, each tree can absorb approximately 20kg of CO2 per year which is considered globally as a conservative estimate for sequestration potential of trees
World Wildlife Fund India (WWF) in its report, ‘Lifeline for Tigers, 2014’ has mentioned the major ecological challenges pertaining to the Pench-Kanha area such as wildlife loss due to developmental activities, human-animal conflict and resource exploitation, making replenishment of the tree cover in this region an indispensable part of the conservation process. Forest-based livelihoods form a major part of the employment opportunities available around Dulara. Due to the dearth of other sources of income and a decline in forest cover, poverty is rampant in the area. The plantation of trees on community land with the help of our plantation partner, BDBGVS will ensure access to forest produces in the future. Apart from providing a good source of income to the people of the region, carefully selected species will be a source of indigenous medicine to the tribal communities who have poor access to good healthcare facilities, while also acting as gene banks and carbon sequestration units.
