1. ANDHRA PRADESH FORESTS AT A GLANCE

Andhra Pradesh is the fifth largest State in Geographical area and the third largest State in Forest area in the Indian Union. The total Forest area of the State is 63813.73 Square Kilometers which occupies 23.20% of the total Geographical area of 2,75,068 Sq.Kms. It is almost equal to the country's average percentage of forests.

The forests of the Andhra Pradesh State are distributed in different agro-climatic

zones, with varying composition and forest types, majority of which are classified as (1)

Tropical dry deciduous (2) Southern tropical Moist deciduous and (3) Southern tropical thorn

forests. Most of the forest area was highly degraded owing to biotic pressure and over use

of forest resources. Since last one decade most of the degraded areas have been reclubbed

with the implementation of Community forest management programme through more than

7100 Vana Samrakshana Samithis.

a. Regional Offices / Silvicultural Research:

The scheme of Silvicultural Research under Regional Offices is being implemented as a State Plan Scheme. There is a need to develop suitable species for specific areas and introduce high yielding varities in the planting programme. Silvicultural Research has assumed a greater significance for the improvement of the natural forests particularly in afforestation of the large tracts of degraded forests lands. Keeping the above in view, the scheme is proposed to be implemented to continue to conduct experiments and standardize the improved nursery techniques, vegetative propagation and natural forest management etc.

The traditional soil filled bag plants nurseries and use of seed from unknown sources are obsolete in the present day context of clonal forestry and Root Trainer nursery technology. The following experiments on nurseries are proposed to be continued to find the results.

20

1. Culling at the nursery stage 2. Application of Bio-Pesticides & Bio-fertilizers 3. Hardening of seedlings

The Research Wing of A.P. Forest Department has developed number of

Clonal Multiplication Areas (CMAs) and experimental plots of various timber, pulpwood and NTFP species in the field Research Centres.

Most of these plots require further maintenance. The data has to be regularly

collected and analyzed before short-listing the best performing clones/ families before accepting in the planting programme. These improved planting stocks will also be useful to farmers. Further, number of demonstration plots of various forestry species were established to study their growth, silvicultural requirement etc. These also require further maintenance.

b. Strengthening and Up-gradation of Forest Department (Publicity) :

The main objectives of this scheme are to cause wide publicity of the activities taken up by the department and also to create awareness on conservation of forests, biodiversity and wildlife among the general public.

The Forest Utilization Officer is implementing the scheme which includes,

component for giving wide publicity to encourage more effective and intensive utilization of forest products in trade and industries and to make publicity by organizing Exhibitions in All India Industrial Exhibition, Hyderabad and Vijayawada to enlighten the public about the developmental activities taken up by the Department.

Preparation of Forest Department Tableaux during National functions i.e. 26th

January and 15th August, publishing Annual Administration Reports and Facts & Figures of the Department and brochures are also undertaken under the scheme. Advertisements are also released to Newspapers highlighting the achievements.

A Statistical Cell has been established in the Department to study the

marketing trends of timber and other forest produce and to work in collaboration with territorial Divisional Forest Officers to secure the best price to the forest produce sold by them.

The department is proud to mention here that the publicity wing of the

department has bagged the 23 awards/prizes during the period from 1997 for the publicity works implemented under the scheme.

c. Forest Protection :

The Government has laid much emphasis on the protection of forests. The Forest Department has a separate Vigilance Wing at Headquarters, headed by an Addl. Prl. Chief Conservator of Forests, (Vig.), who in turn is assisted by (2) Chief Conservator of Forests, and (3) Vigilance Parties. Besides this, (15) Flying Squad Parties and (35) Mobile Parties are functioning at the field level for effective protection of vulnerable forest areas.

21

The Vigilance cell, along with the Flying Squad Parties, also enquires into allegations, takes up surprise inspections and conducts surprise checks for detection of illicit forest produce in storage and patrols the vulnerable routes to check the smuggling of the forest produce.

2. Mixed Plantation (Social Forestry):

Social Forestry deals with raising of plantations out side reserve forest areas with objectives to increase the forest cover outside the reserve forest as envisaged by the Government of India, Planning Commission (33% of Geographical areas by 2012) and to realize cherished goal of “Haritha Andhra Pradesh”. The department is raising nurseries and plantations and distributing seedlings to people under Social Forestry Programmes.

Development of Kartheekavanams and maintenance of Kartheekavanams & block

plantations raised during previous years are taken up with the funds available under the scheme. Avenue Plantation raising of tall plants and small bag seedlings are also taken up under this scheme.

The Twelfth Finance Commission has allocated Rs.6500.00 lakh for “maintenance of Forests”. The amount has to be utilized during the period of 2006-07 to 2009-10. It was decided in the High Level Committee meeting to incur the expenditure @ Rs.1300.00 lakh per annum from 2005-06 onwards and accordingly GOI have released Rs.650.00 lakh for year 2005-06 to take up the developmental activities under the following components.

31

Forest Protection (Rs.190.00 lakh)

Forest Development Agency (Rs.150.00 lakh)

Social Forestry (Rs.175.00 lakh)

Wildlife (Rs.135.00 lakh)

The State High Level Committee has agreed for utilization of balance amount of Rs.5850.00 lakh (Rs.6500.00 – Rs.650.00 lakh) during the years 2006-07 to 2009-10. It was suggested to utilize Rs.1950.00 lakh, during 2006-07 and @ Rs.1300.00 lakh annually during remaining three years i.e., 2007-08; 2008-09 & 2009-10.

The funds provided by the 12th Finance commission are utilized to achieve the

objective of ensuring protection to forests against encroachments and illicit fellings. Creation of sufficient infrastructure to provide mobility to the staff, engaging of Tribal Helpers as a striking force, Survey and demarcation of Forest land, constructing internal roads in the Forests etc., getting (advance) information regarding various illegal activities are some of the sub-activities of this component.

To meet the increasing work load of forest protection and implementing various schemes it was decided to provide 5 tribal helpers to each forest Division. After imparting training these helpers are being used for forest protection, under this component.

Procurement of new vehicles in a phased manner to the staff for combating illicit transport of Forest produce, constructions of new quarter in interior location for the stay of front line staff and to construct sheds near check post in interior locations for temporary stay of tracking force deployed for protection; secrete service funds for payment to the informers, survey and demarcation of forest blocks are some of the other sub activities taken up under the Forest Protection component.

Funds are also provided under this component for purchase of GPS technologies which is helpful for survey, resources planning management of forest resources and the expenditure on telephone etc.

Artificial Regeneration model of Forest Development Agency and advance operations for semi-mechanical plantation and nursery raising operations are contemplated under the FDA component.

In pursuance of the decision taken in the State Level Tiger Protection Meeting held on 17.10.2005 under the Chairmanship of the Chief Secretary, 400 tribal trackers have been taken on hire. These helpers act as intelligent information gatherers on matter corresponding to poaching smuggling etc., and able to monitor tiger and leopard movements in the forests areas. The payment for these tribal trackers is being met under the Wildlife Component.

The incidences of crop damage by blackbucks listed in the Schedule-I, of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, were repeatedly highlighted and therefore it was decided to translocate the blackbucks from Kurnool District to Nagarjunasagar Srisailam Tiger Reserve under the Wildlife Component.

In order to improve the quality of the planting stock and to adopt the modern methods of propagation, the existing nurseries are to be modernized by creating infrastructure facilities like mist chamber, hardening chamber, poly-propagators, root trainers, sprinkler irrigation, compost pit, vermi-compost shed and other sophisticated

32

infrastructure. Up-gradation is required, so that the nurseries will become the production centers of quality planting material i.e., clones and grafts. Accordingly the department has taken up establishment of Hi-Tech Nurseries and Satellite Nurseries under social forestry component of the scheme.

This project is supported financially by the World Bank through credit from International Development Agency (IDA) and the Government of Andhra Pradesh. An amount of 85.50 Million XDRs is the credit available from IDA for implementation of this Project. The actual contribution of World Bank (Donar Share) is for Rs.550.014 crore (84.1%) while the State Contribution (State share) is Rs.103.956 crore (15.9%) making a total of Rs.653.97 crore. This project is to be implemented over a period of 5 years and aims at benefiting 3,25,000 families dwelling in forest fringe villages through 5000 Vana Samrakshana Samithies (village level forest protection and management institutions constituted with forest dependant families most (30% of whom are tribals) in 14 forest rich districts of Andhra Pradesh with a target to treat 3.158 lakh Ha of low-density forest area. The districts where the project is being implemented are Adilabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, Khammam, Nizamabad, Medak, Mahabubnagar, Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, Nellore, Chittoor and Kadapa.

The development objective of this project is alleviation of rural poverty of the people involved in forestry activities. There are three interdependent components viz., creation of

enabling environment for Community Forest Management, Forest management and

Community development. The activities under the component of creation of enabling environment for Community Forest Management includes policy and legal reforms, institutional development and capacity building of stake holders. Activities under the component of forest management include, treatment of forests under management of VSSs. This is through rejuvenation of degraded forests and conversion of scrub forests into productive plantations. This includes soil and moisture conservation works under watershed development approach, fire and grazing control, social forestry in non forest areas, applied research and extension and a comprehensive inventory of forest resources. The component of Community development aims at income generation activities and bridging critical infrastructure gaps to ensure sustainability of project investments. Activities also include addressing the issues of tribals and those families

National Afforestation Programme (Forest Development Agency):

Government of India has formulated a scheme titled “National Afforestation Programme” by merging of four IX Plan Centrally Sponsored Afforestation Schemes of the Ministry of Environment and Forests namely: Integrated Afforestation and Eco-Development Projects (IAEPS), Area Oriented Fuel Wood and Fodder Projects Scheme (AOFFPS), Conservation and Development of Non-Timber Forest Produce

36

including Medicinal Plants scheme (NTFP) and Association of Schedule Tribes and Rural Poor in Regeneration of Degraded Forests (ASTRP) with a view to reduce multiplicity of the schemes, avoiding delays in availability of funds at the field level and institutionalizing peoples participation in project formulation and its implementation. Thus, the programme started in 2002. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SCHEME:

The scheme is being implemented under two tier setup namely; the Forest

Development Agencies and Joint Forest Management Committees (JFMCs). The two tier approach apart from building capabilities at the grass roots level would also empower the local people to participate in the decision making process. FDA can be constituted at the territorial/wild life forest division level. FDA is a registered society under Societies Registration Act.

TREATMENT INTERVENTIONS As per the approval accorded by Government of India, the forest areas are being treated under the following treatment streams with the involvement of Vana Samrakshana Samithies. Aided Natural Regeneration – Under this, gap planting is taken up in the existing

marginal forests areas by planting 200 plants of NTFP species per ha.

Artificial Regeneration – Degraded forest areas are ploughed and planting with

economic important species taken up under this treatment. 1100 plants are planted

per hectare after ploughing the area.

Pasture Development: 400 fodder species plants are planted per hectare.

Mixed Plantation with NTFP value and medicinal plants.

Bamboo plantations.

4. ACHIEVEMENTS:

So far, in Andhra Pradesh, 37 FDA projects have been sanctioned by the

Government of India. Out of 37 projects, 6 projects are newly sanctioned during the

year 2007-2008.

The total outlay of all the projects is for 2007-08 is Rs.1036.70 lakhs and 1739

VSSs/ EDCs are involved in implementing these projects. An area of 12382 Ha. was

proposed to be treated during the project period and 7109.18 ha was planted by

spending an amount of Rs.761.88 lakhs during 2007-08.

41

Beedi Leaf Collection

The scheme of regulation of Trade in Beedi leaf was introduced in the State during the year 1971, with the passing of A.P. Minor Forest Produce (Regulation of Trade) Act, 1971. The Departmental collection of beedi leaf was introduced from 1987. The A.P.Forest Development Corporation Limited, Hyderabad has been appointed as an agent to the Government. There are 369 beedi leaf units spread all over the entire Telengana Region of the State. The beedi leaf is collected, from the Reserved Forest Areas and other Governemnt lands and is also purchased from the registered growers. The scheme is unique in its own way, generating about 60 lakhs mandays of employment to the tribal and other rural poor in the lean agricultural season of the year i.e., during summer, within a short period of 50 days.

The Government have issued orders vide G.O.Ms.No.43, EFS&T (For.II) Dept., dt.10.4.2006 to the effect that from 2006 beedi leaf season onwards, the net profit generated from beedi leafs will be distributed to the people who have actually collected the beedi leafs, instead of showing the same against the Revenue head of the Department earlier.

Revenue

Maintenance of Ecological balance, conservation of bio-diversity and healthy environment are the main concerns of the Forest Department, rather than revenue earning. However, the department derives revenue from Sale of Timber, Bamboo, Fuel wood and Non-Timber Forest Produce (NTFP).

The revenue realized during 2004-05 was Rs.100.94 crore. The revenue realized during 2005-06 was Rs.94.55 crore against the annual target of Rs.126.00 crore. The revenue target fixed by the government for the year 2006-07 is Rs.138.58 crore. The revenue target of Rs. 138.58 crore is however reduced to Rs.100.00 crore as per the orders issued vide G.M.No.9929/For.II.1/06-2, dt.16.11.2006.

7. FOREST BASED INDUSTRIES – 2007-08

1. PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRIES: Prior to 1975 there were two paper mills i.e., M/s. Sirpur Paper Mills (SPM) and M/s. Andhra Pradesh Paper Mills Limited (APPM) in the State. Bamboo was being supplied by the forest department under long-term agreement. These Paper mills though old, have expanded their production from time to time. They are located in Adilabad and East Godavari Districts respectively. During 1977 and 1978 two more paper mills have been set up primarily depending on the forest department for the raw material supplies. These are: 1. M/s. Sree Rayalaseema Paper Mills Limited situated at Kurnool, in Kurnool District (SRPM). 2. M/s. Bhadrachalam Paper Boards Limited situated at Sarapaka, Khammam District (BPBL).

The details of various paper mills are given below:

e. Employment (Persons)

RAW MATERIAL REQUIREMENT: The total production capacity of all the four paper mills is 2,97,500 Turnover per Annum (TPA). The raw material requirement of all paper mills is estimated at 800 thousand MTs. The figure of raw material requirement has been based on the conversion rate of 2.80 MB of raw material for one MT Paper produced. The Sree Rayalaseema Paper Mills has been closed since 1989-90 lease year since it was treated as a sick unit. The main forest raw material being used in paper industry is hard wood and bamboo. The production of bamboo in the State is not enough to meet the full requirement of the Paper industry. The total bamboo growing stock in the State is estimated to be about 34 Lakh Metric Tonnes. As against this growing stock the annual production of bamboo from the Forest of Andhra Pradesh is about 3.5 Lakhs M.Ts. This is further coming down due to flowering of much bamboo growing area. About 1.0 Lakh Metric Tonnes of bamboo is consumed by the paper and pulp industries and the balance of one Lakh Metric Tonnes goes to the domestic sector. In view of the shortage of bamboo raw material the paper industries have started using short fiber of mixed and hard wood also by making necessary changes in the technology.

45

ROYALTY RATES:

The agreement provided for revision of royalty rates once in every five years and the royalty rates fell due for revision in 1980 at the first instance. The Government constituted an Expert Committee to advice on fixation of royalty both of bamboo and hard wood supplies to various wood based industries in the State i.e., including those other than paper industries also. The committee was required to consider various factors while recommending the Royalty rates, such as market prices, replacement costs, concession, if any to be given and sustainability of supplies, etc.

The Government have examined and accepted recommendations of the Committee. The rates are given below. Royalty rates for bamboo and hard wood supplies to paper mills.

The paper industries have protected and latest challenged the revision of rates of supply of raw material in the Supreme Court having lost their cases in High Court. The case is still pending for disposal. Meanwhile A.P. Forest Produce (Fixation of selling price) Act, 1989 was enacted. This Act Provides for fixing selling prices for supply of raw material from government resources to various wood based industries following certain prescribed procedure, as detailed below.

a. The selling price for the bamboo raw material for supply to paper industries shall be fixed basing on the production costs, at the point of supply.

b. The selling price for the miscellaneous mixed wood suitable particle boards, rayon grade pulp and paper pulp shall be fixed basing on the production costs, but not below the market value of the produce at the point of supply.

c. The selling price for timber for supply to plywood industries shall be fixed basing on the market value, at the point of supply.

With the enforcement of the Act from 1-10-1991 all the existing agreements for the supply of raw material stood abrogated. The new agreement with the paper industries for supply of bamboo raw material is for a period of 6 years. The selling prices for bamboo raw material are given below:

46

1990-91 Rs. 596 / MT (excluding moisture lose 10%)







1997-98 Rs. 1330 / MT (including moisture lose 10%)











No hard woods are proposed to be supplied to paper industries in view of shortage. Industrialist are however able to feed their industries using casuarina wood, largely obtained from east coast, where it has got a boost quantity on account of social forestry programme.

BASKETS AND MAT WEAVING INDUSTRY:

Small scale Industry where good quantities of bamboo is consumed is basket-weaving community called Burood or Medara. Over ages this community has been procuring bamboo and cane from the forest and seeking livelihood by making baskets, mats, tattas and other articles required in rural areas.

The State Forests are meeting the bonafide requirement of this Burood into co-operatives and register themselves with the concerned District Industries centres. Each member is supplied with 2000 bamboo per annum, 50% is round form and the balance in split form. There are 289 registered societies with total membership of 8200 (approximately). Green Bamboo is supplied to these societies on subsidized

8. ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF STATE TRADING CIRCLE 2007-08

The Beedi leaf Trade was Nationalised in all the 10 Districts of Telangana Region with effect from 9-11-1970 through the Andhra Pradesh Minor Forest Produce (Regulation of Trade) ordinance which was subsequently replaced by the A.P. Minor Forest Produce Act, 1971 (Act 4 of 1971). In the year 1987, the Departmental collection of Beedi Leaf was taken up by eliminating the middlemen and the A.P. Forest Development Corporation Limited was appointed as Agent to the Government which financed the Scheme with Margin Money provided by the Government and at the end of the financial year remits to the Government, all the net revenue after repayment of Bank Loans with interest and meeting the relevant components of expenditure as per the scheme. Thus from the year 1988-89 the Government accounts show only the net revenue realised by the Department as against the normal gross revenue figures shown till 1987-88. The Departmental Collection of Beedi Leaf Scheme is basically a social welfare scheme as it is totally labour oriented. There are in all 440 beedi leaf units spread over all the 10 districts comprising of 23 Divisions of Telangana Region under 5 Territorial Circles and the Field Director, Project Tiger, Srisailam. Departmental collection of beedi leaf was continued upto 1996 season and local persons mainly from the tribals and other weaker sections were appointed as khalladars to supervise the collection, curing, bagging and transport of beedi leaf to godowns. Only good leaf fit for making at least one beedi was delivered to purchasers at godowns. Since 1997 the policy has been revised for collection of beedi leaf in Telangana Region where in the green leaf will be collected and handed over to the purchasers, on the day of collection. All operations like Pruning, Appointment of Khalladars, Curing, Handling and Transportation of leaf to godown will be taken up by the Purchasers only. 1) ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP:- The statement showing the posts sanctioned (category-wise) under the scheme is enclosed herewith as Annexure-I. 2) LEGISLATION ON BEEDI LEAF COLLECTION & TRADE:-

Before introduction of State Trading in Abnus Leaves in 1971, the right to collect abnus leaves was sold by public Auction on lumpsum contract. The private pattadars too, used to sell Beedi Leaf grown in their holdings to the private contractors usually on negotiated terms. When demand and commercial value of beedi leaf had increased private contractors with the help of influential pattadars and local villagers started pilfering and smuggling beedi leaf from the Forests and Government lands leading to considerable loss of revenue to the Government. To arrest this trend, the matter was discussed by the Central Board of Forestry in 1953 which recommended legislative measures to control, the trade of beedi leaf. Accordingly the A.P.Minor Forest Produce (Regulation of Trade) ordinance was promulgated in 1970 which was subsequently replaced by Andhra Pradesh Minor Forest Produce (Regulation of Trade) Act, 1971 (Act No.4 of 1971). The Provisions of which were brought into operation with effect from 9-11-1970 in the 10 Districts of Telangana Region of Andhra Pradesh, which are the main Abnus Leaf growing areas of the State, under the Act the possibility of growers smuggling the leaves from the Government lands is eliminated and public trust is effectively secured. Besides payment of fair wages timely payment also ensured to the laborers who are mostly from the weaker sections of the society and tribals.

10. GEOMATICS CENTRE

GEOMATICS ACTIVITIES:

Evolution of Geomatics:

Efficient Forest Resource Management requires rapid reliable and accurate

information regarding the status of Forest. RS & GIS in combination with GPS has emerged as a key-monitoring tool for better management of resources. Information Technology has percolated deep into A.P Forest Department during the implementation of Andhra Pradesh Forestry Project funded by World Bank. Geographic Information system was introduced in Andhra Pradesh Forest Department with a view to improve the capabilities of the decision makers in Planning and Monitoring of the forests. The use of GIS has brought speed in communication of the data, consistency at all levels, transparency, accuracy, reliability and ease of use. This technology encompasses other technologies like Management Information system, Global positioning system, Remote Sensing, Forest Inventory and cartography to fulfill the needs of the department. This has led to evolution of Forest Geomatics in Andhra Pradesh Forest Department and this Geomatics Centre has further developed into a Centre of Excellence for applications of RS/GIS/GPS technology in the field.

Use of RS, GIS & GPS had a very modest beginning in the APFD. When GIS started in APFD it faced lot of difficulties in database creation as well as processing. The difficulty faced in getting accurate spatial and attribute data from the field was overcome by our perseverance and hard work of our field staff. The difficulty faced in transferring the processed data and its use was overcome by developing methodologies and continuous trainings. However, after the initial starting problems were overcome, the Geomatics Centre has developed into a centre of excellence. It has spread the RS, GIS & GPS activities to the field through 6 Regional GIS Centers. Today, APFD has a fully automated database whose accuracy has been verified at various levels. To make this data available to field staff, a copy of data has been supplied to the 6 Regional GIS Centers. Further, the entire data has been copied and archived in the Geomatics Centre. Objectives:

The primary objectives of Geomatics are as follows.

Creation of database for helping all the field executives in day-to-day decision making.

Bringing out consistency, accuracy and transparency in all types of data.

Preparation of Strategic Plans at State and District levels at 1:250k scale, management plans or working plans at 1:50k and micro plans at 1:10k or 5k has been contemplated.

To explore the potential of RS & GIS for better forest resource management by under taking Research & Development Activities.

To make RS & GIS integral to decision making process at all levels in department.

Training of staff in field RS, GIS & GPS.

To enhance the utility of existing database and generate further reliable data for the different wings of the AP Forest Department.

Use RS & GIS inputs for working plan preparation in the State.

61

Survey of Forest blocks and resolving the Forest Boundary disputes using DGPS for better management.

Integrating MIS with GIS through development of Forest Management Information System by collecting the VSS data from the field.

Preparation of Stock Maps at various levels using forest inventory for forest management.

Enumeration of trees out side the Forests using high resolution data.

Vegetation mapping and monitoring: Remote sensing data from IRS 1A/1B - LISS II and IRS 1C/1D - WIFS, LISS III and PAN, IRSP6-LISSIII data etc are acquired from NRSA and processed through various image processing techniques viz., image restoration, image enhancement and thematic information extraction. The data has been segmented into various homogeneous strata (land use / land cover classes) using the various image processing techniques viz., image classification algorithms, NDVI, PCA and CCA with the help of existing working plans and reference material. The data is being used for resource assessment i.e., forest canopy density and forest type for monitoring change in status of forest vegetation and its evaluation. WIFS (Wide Field Sensor) data is being used for the state level rapid assessment. LISS III (Linear Imaging and self scanning sensor) is being used for information to prepare Management/ Working plans and Operational plans. Merged data (PAN+LISS III) is being used for Micro planning. The lowest functionary of the forest dept. i.e. Forest Beat Officer is involved in this vegetation cover analysis. It not only provides accurate result but also creates awareness among the field staff in use of technology.

The following classification scheme is adopted for carrying out the vegetation

canopy density analysis. Very Dense - > 0.7 canopy density Moderately Dense forest - 0.4 to 0.7 canopy density Open forest - 0.4 to 0.1 canopy density Scrub forest - < 0.1 Canopy density and areas with dwarf

and stunted growth

Blanks/Others - devoid of vegetation Water bodies - ponds, lakes, streams Mangroves Forest - Areas with mangroves along the coast Various classification techniques have been used in performing classification

process as per the requirement.

Ground truthing: The preliminary classified data is sent for the ground truthing by the field officers to improve the results of classification. The 1996, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004,2005 and 2006 data have been analyzed to assess the change in trends of forest development and also the impact of formation of Vana Samarakshana Samithi (VSS) under APFP (AP Forestry Project), APCFM (AP Community Forest Management) project and other management practices that were introduced. The data has been sent to field officers for ground verification. The errors are rectified and maps with detailed statistics are generated up to the lowest administrative, management level. The output classified maps are being used in the plans of the departmental staff. The status of forest reports are generated for all years.

Database creation: Seven themes have been created in 1:250K scales

(Administrative, Management, Drainage, Roads, Rail tracks, Village & Plantation) and 30 basic and derived themes have been created/generated and updated in 1:50K scale. This data is distributed to divisions for verifications and use.

Archival of database for further usage and dissemination: The huge amount of database that has been developed is archived systematically with appropriate coding for the faster retrieval and usage. The copies of data are maintained at head office and regional centers.

Methodologies: Methodologies were developed for different works starting from GIS database creation to advanced analysis, viz., coding convention, image georeferencing & classification, ground truthing, accuracy assessment and statistics generation, micro level watershed modeling, forest fire risk zonation, wildlife habitat mapping, site selection for ecotourism, biodiversity characterization at landscape level, least cost analysis, DGPS survey and data analysis, etc.

Infrastructure development: Establishment of Regional Centers in Warangal, Kurnool Rajahmundry, Adilabad, Tirupathi and Visakhapatnam with modern facilities and staff to cater the needs of forest divisions around them in technology and working needs.

To house the expanded activities for the Geomatics Centre, a new Geomatics Centre has been established at new Aranya Bhavan office complex. This will facilitate the working of Geomatics Cell and at the same time it will cater the needs of the higher officials in making the appropriate decisions.

Projects: Projects executed in the range of simple to complex for different category of users. Some of them are vegetation change detection analysis for various seasons, providing basic data for preparation of working plans, Forest Inventory. The complex ones include AP Cyclone Hazard Mitigation, Site suitability analysis for water harvesting structures and watershed modeling for

63

specific areas, Ecotourism site selection, Wildlife habitat mapping, Forest fire risk zonation and Survey of Forest Blocks using DGPS.

Forest Fire Risk Modeling (Fire Hazard Zonation): With the aid of MoEF, GOI, to analyze the effect of forest fires in AP and to prepare a fire management plan, the fire hazard zonation using Geomatics by taking various factors that are influencing the fire into consideration viz., the fuel (forest type and density), the topography (slope and aspect), the proximity (roads and villages), the environmental factors (wind, temperature, rainfall etc) for seven districts are completed. These maps are useful in delineating most to least vulnerable areas to fire and helpful in creating fire lines and combating the fire hazard. Hence these maps are helpful for development of forests and wildlife. This has been appreciated by MoEF, Chairman ISRO, Director IGNFA, PCCFs of other states, etc. The Fire Risk Model generated are compared with the satellite imagery and found matching to a great extent.

Micro level watershed management planning using Geomatics for specific areas: Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS technology will provide much information and can be used in selecting suitable sites for water harvesting structures and prioritization according to criteria and budget availability. The main objectives are to identify suitable sites for water harvesting structures, to prioritize WHS with respect to their feasibility and local importance, to assess the impact of the watershed management practices.

The DGPS system has been employed to collect the fly levels in the area by walking in a zigzag fashion in such a way that the entire area is covered uniformly depending upon the terrain. The information has been utilized for generating contours at 1 mt interval and slope and stream network is derived. By inputting various criteria the site suitability analysis for WHS is carried out. The runoff is estimated using other parameters governing the watershed development.

Wildlife habitat mapping for specific areas: The Geomatics has been used to analyse the site suitability of wildlife habitats by taking the several parameters like the food, water and cover. The food and cover is derived from the RS Data and FWPs, the slope and aspect, the settlements and roads are derived from topomaps, the water is derived from topomaps and RS Data. With the help of other collateral information the various layers are integrated in GIS environment and the wildlife habitat suitability map is generated. It has been compared with the field census and matching to ground conditions.

Forest Inventory and its results a) Objective: The main objective of the inventory was to collect quantitative and qualitative information, about the forest resources to serve the data needs of development planning at State and Division level.

Information related to growing stock of timber and its species-wise distribution and volume was proposed to be got generated through this Inventory.

Besides assessing growing stock, the information regarding the following has also been collected.

64

Timber and Bamboo resources, herbs, shrubs & weeds, soil Factors causing damage to the forests like incidences of insects, pests, grazing, fire, illicit felling etc.

b) Methodology The stratified random sampling method was applied for the purpose. The field

inventory was carried out by the 70 Teams, specially constituted for the purpose. Each Team consisted of a Team Leader, an Assistant Team Leader, local Forest Officer (FBO or ABO) and 4 Inventory Assistants. Extensive trainings were given to them in data collection.

Customized software for entry of data collected by the field Inventory Teams was specially developed for Andhra Pradesh. The Circle/Division level data entry operators were given training in handling the software at APFA (AP Forest Academy) Dulapally, on data entry. Subsequently, they entered the data at Circle / Division levels using the above mentioned software. The data was regularly transferred to head office through division offices. The data checking was done thoroughly at head office and data processed systematically.

Trainings and Extensions: In order to make the RS, GIS and GPS technology acceptable to field staff, extensive trainings are being imparted to different cadres at different levels i.e., Viewers, Users and Doers.1) Viewers training are being conducted for departmental officers of various cadres 2) Cartography and coding training for draughtsman. 3) Doers trainings like database creation & updation, map composition and printing training to all the computer operators in the department, DGPS trainings exclusively for executives involved in DGPS survey.

Training are being imparted to all other sister organizations like Panchayat Raj, Rural development, Animal husbandry, HUDA, Police, Transport, Agriculture department etc of the state. It is pertinent to state that the Geomatics center has been identified by the MoEF, GOI as a training institute in the field of Geomatics for imparting vertical trainings to all India Forest officers. Different state forest departments are requesting Geomatics center for imparting training to their officers and trainings are being conducted.

Integration of GIS and MIS: The use of MIS and GIS data in isolation does not fulfill the needs of a department that demands. Hence, the various modules of MIS are integrated with spatial data by building appropriate queries. It also generates maps on a particular query. Further queries and modules can be appended. With the integration, the non spatial information can be managed at one place. It also facilitates the analytical capabilities and various outputs can be generated by forming complex queries which can be used by the field level officers in their day to day administration and management.

Geomatics has become an integral part to a forest division decision support system in forestry planning & operations in Andhra Pradesh.

Much of the data created is of dynamic nature and needs periodic updation. To enhance the utility of infrastructure created more data to be added and refine existing database. Strong foundation has been laid for use of RS & GIS inputs for resources planning. However, the technology is rapidly opening new fields and options. Hence tune to make use of the new advances. Further activities: Inputs to Plans:

Geomatics can be a main tool in preparation of Forest Working Plans of all divisions in the state. It provides various inputs which can be integrated through complex GIS analysis. The inputs like forest boundaries, stream network, contours, roads, villages, forest cover etc., are vital in various levels of planning i.e., strategic, management and operational as well as the micro plans of JFM.

Pre-inventory/inventory points are generated on the classified map by way of Probability Proportionate Stratified Random Sampling for growing stock estimation. The sampling intensity will be based on the variance in population in each stratum (density class). Taking all factors like time, Cost, Permissible error and other statistical requirements, it has been decided to take up pre-Inventory exercise by laying (45) forty five plots of 0.1 Ha each in every Division @ (15) plots in each density class. The above exercise will provide information about variance in population, which will in turn be the deciding factor in arriving at the sampling intensity i.e. (sample plot size and number of inventory plots) required for each Stratum, for undertaking Final Inventory through “Optimal sample size determination” procedure.

The information thus generated through Final Inventory gives the “Statistics of growth and yield” of growing stock, and also the “Status of Forest and Potentiality of

66

the forest area” in the division. Accurate stock maps and other information dependant maps will be generated with the help of RS, GIS and statistical inputs (inventory data).

This information forms an important database to be used in preparation/revision of the Working Plan. Once the stock maps are prepared, it is easy to derive working circles with help of other collateral information. Basing on the working circles treatment practices can be designed. GIS will be used for area calculation, statistics generation and for final output map making. It makes the task more accurate, fast and simpler.

Forest Atlas It is proposed to prepare forest atlas of the State of Andhra Pradesh. It shall give spatial distribution of forest type along with density. It will be attempted by overlay analysis of forest types with forest density coverage. The forest type map will be generated using multi-spectral LISS-III data and density mapping will be done using PAN data. Development of on-line geo database: Huge amount of database is developed and archived. It is proposed to keep this database in the form of geo database on-line through intranet by connecting all offices upto Range level and to integrate MIS database with GIS database. It can be done by procuring ArcSDE and the database will be stored in an oracle server. It facilitates single management of database.

Web GIS In addition to providing on-line database availability to all forest offices for regular use and for updation of information, as part of the government policy, it is decided to keep some information of department‟s activities and services on internet. To facilitate this, it is proposed to establish an Internet Map Server along with web hosting through Web GIS.

On development of geo database and Web GIS the data can be put on net and privileges can be set for various levels of officers in creating/updating the information. It facilitates the single storage of spatial and non-spatial information. For this the Arc IMS, Arc SDE etc has to be procured.

Research & Development Activities.

1. Generation of new vegetation indices for State of AP. Vegetation indices are developed for the vegetation quantification and to

compress the huge amount of multi-spectral data in such a way that spectral properties of the canopy get enhanced and interference of the other area features or variability due to different illumination conditions is reduced. These indices can be related with parameters like Leaf Area Index, Photo synthetically Active Radiation, Leaf biomass, Leaf area index etc, for determining biomass production and Productivity. The indices may be ratio based vegetation indices or n-space Vegetation indices.

67

2. Archiving training sets of different years data for change detection studies: Training sets are very important in the classification of multi-spectral image and

require close interaction between the image analyst and data, which is to be classified. It is also requires thorough knowledge of the geographic area to which the data apply. The main objective of the training sets is to assemble a set of statistics that describes the spatial response pattern for each land cover type to be classified in an image and needs to be archived for carrying out change detection studies.

The No. of training areas required for classifying an image depends on the No. of classes we require, the occurrence of each class in an area and the complexity of the Geographical area. It is very essential to have geographical location of training site, date of collection (it should be within 30 days or less from the acquisition of the data). It is to be continued for each time to understand the spectral response patterns and needs to be archived in the GIS environment to improve the classification accuracy.

3. Collection of permanent GCP‟s for Geo-referencing of high resolution of data. 4. Comparative analysis of optical and radar imageries for vegetation mapping on pilot scale.

5. Development of software for different applications in the department like data loggers, inventory calculations, Meta data collection and customization of software for department.

6. Monitoring of Protected areas

Physical setting of the protected area and land cover changes in the vicinity.

Wildlife habitat suitability mapping for carrying capacity analysis.

Monitoring of the corridor of the protected area, important population migration and genetic exchange.

Positive and negative impacts on the habitat conditions.

Successional and regressional trend of constituent ecosystems of the protected areas.

13. SOCIAL FORESTRY PROGRAMME 2007- 08

The forestry policy stipulated to have at least 1/3rd of land area under "forest". This target can not be achieved unless massive efforts are made in afforestation out side the reserve forests in non-forest lands namely private lands, community lands and other public lands.

During last 6 years from 2003 to 2008, 17949.24 lakhs seedlings raised in nurseries have been utilized for planting in public & private lands, farm forestry in marginal agricultural lands,field bund planting and in homesteads. Of the seedlings distributed, fuel and fodder species constitute nearly 80%, while the rest include fruit and shade plants. Farm forestry potential in Andhra Pradesh is estimated to yield annually 5 to 6 lakh tons of wood.

During last two decades department has raised plantations on Tank Foreshores over an area of approx. 30,000 Ha. and Other Community Land plantations over an area of approx. 28,000 Ha.

Because of intensive social forestry activities taken up in the state since last decade, Andhra Pradesh state stands first among all the states in tree cover outside the forest area which is 9011 sq.km. as assessed by Forest Survey of India. This is ample proof of the increase in the awareness of the people and the success of the programs taken up for increasing the tree cover outside the conventional forest areas.

14. SOIL AND MOISTURE CONSERVATION AND BIO-DIESEL PLANTATIONS:

Forests and Forests crops are totally dependent on natural rain water. There

is no irrigation and intensive cultivation of Forest crops. Forests provide rains

through natural precipitation but due to the runoff the forest soils are always deprived

of natural moisture. In order to circumvent this situation human interventions are

necessary to enhance the Soil Moisture conditions. The wildlife of Forests is totally

dependent for water on the forests. Taking all the scenario the NABARD came

forward to help the Forest sector to finance the intervention structures to improve the

moisture regime of Forest Soils.

These structures will improve the water impounding capacity of the Forest

Soils and as a result the soil moisture condition will improve. Such structures are

Continous Peripheral trenches, Continous Contour trenches, Check dams,

Percolation tanks, Rock fill dams, etc.

The OR cases of (479) & UDOR case of (1) were disposed during the year. PROTECTION PROBLEM: The protection of forests of this circle has suffered a great deal during the past seven years. Three major agencies of smuggling in Atmakur WLM Division are identified.

1. Settlers of Siddapuram 2. The timber traders of Atmakur and places like Markapur & Bethamcherla. 3. Adjoining villages of Reserve Forest areas.

PROTECTION FROM INJURIES TO NATURAL FOREST: As detailed above strict protection measures have been taken for Protection of forest by perambulating in the Natural forest and patrolling the areas. The public was also made to realise the hazards of forest fires by holding meetings at the Range level involving villagers during the fire protection work. However no fire occurrences were reported during the year, under report. WILD LIFE PRESERVATION: The areas of the circle are rich in fauna particularly Tiger, Panther, Sambar, Neelgai & Spotted Deer‟s, Wild boar etc., EMPLOYMENT OF LABOUR IN FORESTS: Prior to 1993-94, the forestry operations like, raising of nurseries, planting, weeding, extraction of Timber, Fuel, Bamboo etc., were carried out by engaging labours of the adjacent villagers and imported labours were used to work in these operations. By introduction of APCFM, No.of VSS./ EDC‟s were formed in the circle. Most of the works are being carried out by VSS / EDC members. No permanent labour is

82

employed in forestry operations. The labour available in the vicinity of the forest areas are generally employed for carrying out the works, wherever the V.S.S./ E.D.C members availability is less. The extraction of Bamboo is restricted to out side Nagarjun Sagar Tiger Reserve only.

Revenue: An amount of Rs. 292.790 lakhs has been realised as Revenue during 2007-08 of this Circle. Expenditure:- An amount of Rs. 546.325 lakhs (Plan) & Rs.144.224 lakhs (Non-Plan) has been spent under Plan & Non Plan schemes implemented during 2007-08 in this circle. 2.

Floristic Description:- The general floristic occurring under the main classification of the forest types is discussed below: Dry Red Sanders Bearing Forests: These forests are found in the inner slopes on Veligonda hills of Tirupati and Srikalahasti ranges, between the altitudes of 300m (about 1000 feet) and 600m (about 2000 feet). The upper canopy is a closed but uneven and not very dense. It is formed by a mixture of trees, which are deciduous during the dry season for several months, through some are for a short period only. “Pterocarpus Santalinus” (Red Sanders) is conspicuously predominant, sometimes forming pure consociations here and there. Due to periodical fires these forests are open. Heavy growth of evergreen and semi-evergreen species is found in moist and more sheltered parts. As undergrowth or shrubs is sparse, good grass growth is seen which tends to become more strongly developed with repeated fires. Climbers are comparatively few.

Red sanders that predominate on Seshachalam hills is absent on other hillocks of the same elevation and corresponding climate. Hence, it is felt that this type is more of edaphic climax than a climatic climax. The rocks on Seshachalam hills contain iron ore in some degree and it is not known whether this or any other

83

micro elements present in the rock and soil is responsible for the gregarious occurrence of Red sanders. This assumption is further confirmed by the fact that while Red sanders occur in increasing percentage in the rocky zones. It suddenly disappears in the built up sandy loam areas giving place to thorny dry deciduous species.

The Plateau Forests: This type of forest is mainly dry mixed deciduous forest, the crop is different and is distinguishable separately as a type by itself and hence this deserves a separate description. This type is found on the entire hill ranges above 600m (about 2000 feet) level. It is confined mainly to the high level plateau near Tirumala and to places above the „escarpment of the Seshachalam hills‟ in Bhakarapet Range and on other hill ranges that are above the level mentioned. This is a climatic climax. Eugenia alternifolia forms the predominant crop while Shorea tumbuggaia is confined to hillocks and ridges and Shorea talura is found in the more moist localities. Terminalia pallida is the common associate in these forests and hence this type can be described as Terminalia – Eugenia – Shorea type. OUT – TURN OF FOREST PRODUCE DURING 2007-08:

1. Cashew Plantations:

There are two old cashew plantations in Satyavedu Range. 1) Nandanam 2) Pulikundram Nandanam: The Nandanam cashew crop was sold in public auction on 02.05.2007 for Rs.30,100/- for the year 2007-08.

Several animals bred in the Zoo were rehabilitated in various Deer Parks and Sanctuaries to restock the depleted natural population.

The Zoo‟s undulating landscape provides a natural setting to the Animals and Birds displayed in large enclosures simulating natural habitat. The Mir Alam Tank, covering nearly 400 acres, with its unique multiple arched Bund, is two hundred years old. It attracts several migratory birds, providing yet another attraction to the zoo. The A.P. Tourism Development Corporation has introduced a ferry boat and speedboat which is attracting a lot of public for boat rides. The climate is generally dry except during the monsoons and is characterized by moderate summer.
