  1. Forestry Research For Sustainable Forest Management PP Bhojvaid, Director FRI

  2. Sustainable Forestry Biodiversity Rural and Urban Employment (Agro-forests) Forest Areas Management Wood and N WFP Forest Health and Hygiene Pollution and Bioremediation Soil & Water ( PES) Carbon Sequestration (climate Change)

  3. Vision • Sustainable Management of Nation’s Forests and the trees outside Forests that is • inclusive of society, • ensures conservation of valuable biodiversity and ecosystems and • allows equitable use of all the goods and services to all stakeholders.

  4. Balancing Pressures on Forests Conservation Development Sustainable Management Challenges Degradation of biodiversity and life support systems Food and water security Ever mounting Population pressure on natural resources Forest Dependence syndrome

  5. Paradigm Shift: Focused Management • Conservation Forests:Management in partnership with local communities for National Ecological Security including biodiversity for subsistence needs of present and future generations…informal sector • Restoration Forests:Management in partnership with communities with a shift from JFM to CFM mode for NTFP and wood products…informal sector

  6. Paradigm Shift: Focused Management • Production Forests:Management in partnership with communities and investment from wood and forest based industries…formal sector • People :Public: Private • Forest corporations: People: Industries • Sale of land to industries? • Innovative Financial Institutions

  7. Research aspects • Holistic • Social, cultural (equity, interface, political) • Legal- policy (national and international) • Ecological (ecosystem structure and function) • Technical (production to utilization) • Both basic and applied

  8. Research • Institute (institutes) • Human resource • Infrastructure • Financial resources • Mission Vision and directions • Cross sectoral linkages

  9. Paradigm Shift (game of Cricket) • Long rotation to short rotation • Active interface with stakeholders • Checks and measures externals • Media and legislation • Civil Society • Global monitoring • Mix of classical sustained yield forestry and modern ecosystem approach

  10. Changes in management systems • Knowledge of specific to general to global is become essential • Silos need to be broken • Interrelations to become stronger • Adequate growing space at lower and middle levels

  11. Paradigm Shift: Focused Management • Payment of environmental Services: Geographic Dimension of Growth and Development • Valuation ….institution……payment….mechanism • Variation in Development • Smart Payments • Climate change and Forests: Opportunities and challenges • Adaptation and mitigation: drought and productivity • Low volume High Value tropical Crops (MP) • Smart subsidies for agro/farm forests..sequestration • Afforestation and reforestation

  12. Forest Transition

  13. Paradigm Shift: Focused Management • Climate change and Forests: Opportunities and challenges • Adaptation and mitigation: drought and productivity • Low volume High Value tropical Crops (MP) • Smart subsidies for agro/farm forests..sequestration • Afforestation and reforestation • Issues • Policy • NAPCC • Green India Mission

  14. Paradigm Shift: Focused Management • JFM to CFM: empowerment of stakeholders • Value addition in the Ecosystem: subsistence to livelihood..tie up interest of ecosystem people • Special approach to Rural sectors • Interface between science, technology and environment

  15. ICFRE Initiatives • National Forestry Research Plan 2000 identified • R & D Issues • Sustainability • Technology • Extension • Education …..on the lines of • Millennium Ecosystem Assessment Programme,WRI,Washington

  16. ICFRE Initiatives ….research needs. • Resource Inventory and Quantitative Assessment • Sustainable Harvesting Regimes • Storage and Value-additions • Marketing • To ensure sustained productivity and economic gains to stakeholders

  17. R & D Issues….technological interventions • Technologies • Simple, • Energy efficient, • Environmental Friendly • Adaptable by people • Medicinal and Aromatic Plants • Natural Dyes • Gums, Starches and Flocculants • Bio-fertilizers • Bio-pesticides • Can be with help from SFDs and (KVIC,CAPART)

  18. Extension • Demonstration and Pilot plants • Exhibitions and kisan melas • Manuals and guides • Research Publications • Trainings for capacities • education
