An
area of 159,120 hectares is under forest, which is 13 percent of
the total geographical area of the district. In 1984, 40.5 hectare
of land had been reserved for reforestation near the Hub dam. About
60,000 plants were planted in the area. Other reforestation projects
have been executed in Bela and Lakhara. National and International
NGOs and other agencies such as PARC, IUCN, Southern Gas Company
and Hub Co Power Project are also involved in reforestation in the
district. |
| The terrain of the district is favorable for forestry, the rainfall is reasonable and the climate is good. Bushes are found abundantly in the district. The grazing rights as well as other privileges like right of way, access to water points, collection of fire wood and temporary cultivation by local residents are recognized. At district level, the district Forest Officer supervises the activities of forestry and wildlife. This sector has much potential, but lack of funds and political influence in cutting trees and hunting are the main hurdles in the development of forestry. |
