Abstract: Eco-restoration is a technique for rejuvenation of degraded ecosystem to their near original state. It also helps to control soil erosion, develop microbial ecology, enhance biomass production and socio-economic development. The present study was focused on a new approach called Rejuvenation Technology for less forest area. India is bestowed with the rich diversity of flora and fauna due to diverse environment. Global warming and consequent impending danger of climate changes has necessitated to arrest deforestation. The species diversity has also helped in the selection of appropriate native species to enhance the ecological functions of urbanizing landscapes. Adoption of monoculture plantations though the region appears green, but fulfilling the vital ecosystem functions such as groundwater recharge, food and fodder to dependent biota, etc. Forest Rejuvenation Action Plan was prepared for each Reserve Forest Block with forestry activities like Reserve Forest boundary deep trench, fencing, Plantations of Gacchakaya on trench mounds along the periphery of the Reserve Forest boundary having interface with Revenue Land to protect the forest from biotic interference. Further Soil & Moisture Conservation works were proposed to improve moisture regime. Silvicultural operations like Cultural operations & removal of invasive species were proposed for better natural regeneration & growth of existing root stock. It was further supplemented with plantations like Block plantations, fruit bearing plantations, Yadadri Model plantations, Grassland development in 0.0 - 0.10 canopy density forest area. Further plantation activities like Gap planting, Medicinal herbs & Shurbs, plantation inside and on the mounds of SCT, Bamboo plantations along nalas/Streams were proposed to improve three tier canopy in the Reserve Forest in 0.1 - 0.40. These Forestry Interventions help to improve the forest cover, biodiversity, Carbon sequestration, Water Argumentation etc to meet the required results as per National & Global Commitments. To demonstrate this technology, plantation of seedlings of 5 different canopy density. Block plantation. Yadadri Model Plantations, Grass lands, Forest Fruit bearing Plantations was carried out in a village community degraded land located in Medhal district in Telangana State. This study developed spatial definitions of the Rejuvenation of reserve forest. Keywords: Rejuvenation, Reserve forest, Plantation models, canopy, Soil & Moisture Conservation

Sacred Forests

SummarySacred forests are small patches of forest that are preserved and protected from human exploitation. Although they are identified primarily for spiritual or religious purposes, their contribution to biodiversity conservation has been widely debated. Sacred sites are known to harbour greater biodiversity compared to exploited forests, but the patterns are not well known. We studied tree diversity in a remote forested location in eastern India where sacred forests and reserve forests used by people are present. Tree data from eight sacred forest sites and nine reserve forest sites showed that species richness was significantly greater in sacred forests; species diversity and evenness tended to be greater, but these were not statistically significant. Basal area (a measure of aboveground biomass) was significantly greater, mainly due to the greater density of large trees. There were significant departures from the theoretical expectation of stem size density distributions under pure asymmetric competition for both land tenures, which indicated that extraneous mortality increased death rates of large trees under both regimes, but sacred forests had a greater range of stem sizes. Our results suggest that sacred forests can contribute to biodiversity conservation by preserving greater tree diversity than forests subject to human use.

Wind energy is an upcoming major source of clean energy.  The unprecedented proliferation of wind farms across landscapes has raised concerns on the environmental impacts.  Generally reported direct impacts of wind farms include collision of birds and bats with turbines, habitat alterations, noise pollution from the turbines, aesthetic impact on landscapes and displacement of faunal species.  Here we report our preliminary results indicating an apparent positive association of Indian Hares Lepus nigricollis with a wind farm in a scrub forest area.  This study was conducted at Harada Reserve Forest near Harapanahalli of Davangere District, Karnataka, India.  The pellet count method was used for comparing the abundance of the species between areas.  The abundance of Indian Hares in wind farm area was significantly higher than in the surrounding forest area without turbines.  The factors that might be affecting this pattern of preferential use of wind farm area by the Indian Hare are discussed and the scope for further studies also highlighted.

Status of current land use and development vis-a-vis available resources in 58 disadvantaged districts (of 150) in three different agro-ecological regions (AER) namely 11, 12 and 13 of eastern India were analyzed. Expectedly fragmentation of agriculture land holdings and declining per capita land availability emerged as major constraints. The analysis also indicated that development of water resource(s) is the most critical factor in AER 11 and 12 where protectionist forest laws appeared to have detrimental effect on irrigation development as evident from empirical negative relationship between irrigation development and forest area. It is argued that developmental plans and land use strategies in AER–11, 12 must be aimed at irrigation development and formulating sustainable non-timber forest produce (NTFP) utilization. Forest lands near villages need to be used for short, middle and long term plans to provide NTFP as a means of livelihood. Based on experimental results it is argued that there exists potential to grow legume crops using residual soil moisture after rainfed rice. AER 13 has very insignificant forest area and well developed irrigation but faces heavy population pressure. Cultivated area in this AER exceeds 74% and hence improving water use efficiency appears to be the emergent option for enhanced productivity. Other land uses such as industrial development are urgently required in AER 13 to relieve population pressure. We argue for revision of land use policies especially tenancy and share cropping and advocate inventory of natural resources with an agro-ecological approach.

Tribal people are remaining in middle of backward regions, forest areas and mountains and confronting numerous issues because of absence of access to quality medicinal services, monetary help and transportation system. The main aim of this study is to examine   the socio economic status of tribal women  and  analyze  income and expenditure pattern of tribal  women  .In this regard three villages in forest areas of Khammam district had been selected and primary data had been collected from 120 tribal women. The logistic regression analysis had been conducted to know the factors influencing tribal people to access bank loans by tribal people. The major finding of this study is that tribal women with land ownership can improve their socio economic status.. It is found from the predictive analysis that socio economic profile of tribal women can be improved with more enhancement of land ownership. The education facilities and healthcare facilities are not considered by the logistic model for accessing the bank loan by tribal women. The standard of living conditions of tribal women in forest area can be enhanced through entrepreneurship rather than providing employment opportunities.

Calomera funerea funerea is reported for the first time from Odisha, Eastern India, represents southernmost locality of the subspecies. Among the two Indian subspecies of Calomera funerea, Calomera f. funerea was previously known from Northern and North-eastern India. On 1.ix.2015, more than 100 individuals of Calomera f. funerea were observed along with a Calomera angulata, in a communal roosting, at Balikiari Reserve Forest of Athgarh Forest Division, Odihsa, India.
