Punjab's Forest Minister inaugurates a refurbished hut, plans massive sapling plantation and other projects to enhance forest conservation.

Punjab Government Landmark Forest Conservation

Punjab's government steps up conservation efforts with new projects, aiming for massive sapling planting to increase forest cover.

Punjab's government advances in forest conservation, inaugurating a critical project and planning massive sapling planting.

In a huge initiative, the Forest and Wildlife Preservation Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak today inaugurated the newly refurbished Inspection Hut at Village Pallanpur (Part of the Siswan Forest Range). The initiative has been undertaken at a cost of Rs. 70 Lakh. In Mirzapur also, the rest house would be renovated and given a new look.
Further, a nature trail is also being developed in the backyard of the inspection Hut. On completion, the nature trail would be a unique and breathtaking site for the nature lovers with various species of birds.
During his interaction with the mediapersons on the occasion, the Minister said the Punjab Government led by the Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann stands fully committed to give fillip to the activities of the Forest Department.
Keeping in view the 350th Martyrdom Day of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, the department is chalking out a plan to plant 3.50 Crore saplings with emphasis on fruit saplings this year, revealed the Minister adding that this would go a long way in increasing the area under forest cover in the State.
Also, in Dhar Block of Pathankot District, a guest house has come up besides a nature interpretation Centre at Harike. In Dholbaha too, such development centric activities are being planned.&nbsp;
The Minister further pointed out that recently, 378 contractual workforce of the Forest Department has been regularised and the Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann would soon give them letters to this effect.
Among others present on the occasion included the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Head of the Forest Force) Dharminder Sharma, APCCF cum CEO PUNCAMPA Saurav Gupta, CCF (Hills) Nidhi Srivastava, CCF Wildlife Sagar Setia, CF Shivalik Circle Mr. Kannan, and DFO Mohali Kanwardeep Singh.

The Miombo woodlands, Africa's largest dry tropical forest, is vital for biodiversity and carbon storage, supporting millions of livelihoods.

Miombo Woodlands: Africa's Mighty Carbon Vault

Miombo: Africa's Ecological and Carbon Reserve

The Miombo woodlands, Africa's largest dry tropical forest, is vital for biodiversity and carbon storage, supporting millions of livelihoods.

In our school days, many of us learned that the Amazon is the largest rainforest in the world. However, few are aware of the Miombo woodlands in Africa.
This expansive forest, roughly the size of Mexico, covers around 1.9 million square kilometers across Zimbabwe, Angola, Malawi, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It comprises tropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands.
Renowned as the world's largest mammal migration hotspot from October to December, the Miombo attracts approximately 10 million bats from various parts of Africa to Zambia's Kasanka National Park.
Not only is the Miombo home to Africa&rsquo;s most iconic megafauna and the continent's endangered elephant species, but it also supports the livelihoods of over 300 million people by providing vital resources.
Between 1980 and 2020, the forest cover in the Miombo decreased by nearly a third, raising concerns about the significant carbon release that could occur if deforestation continues.
The forest has played a crucial role in mitigating global warming.
The Miombo woodlands represent a unique type of semi-deciduous forest dominated by trees from the legume family.
This ecoregion, stretching across Central and Southern Africa, is recognized as the world's largest dry tropical forest.
In Mozambique's Niassa Special Reserve, the Miombo thrives alongside diverse habitats such as rocky outcrops and seasonally flooded grassy areas, known as dambos.
The local population relies on the Miombo for essential resources, including thatching grass for roofing, poles for fencing and construction, bark for fiber production, nutrient-rich termite mound soil for agriculture, and firewood for cooking.
A recent study revealed that the Miombo forest stores over twice the carbon dioxide in its soils and trees than previously estimated, according to CNN.
It stores an additional 3.7 billion metric tons of carbon&mdash;more than what China emitted in 2023.
This extra carbon storage is crucial for combating climate change by keeping excess carbon out of the atmosphere. Edwin Tambara, director of Global Leadership at the African Wildlife Foundation, emphasized that dry forests such as the Miombo are often undervalued and understudied compared to more famous rainforests like the Amazon and the Congo Basin.

Researchers say it would take just about 20 years for tropical rainforests to almost fully regrow if left untouched. 

Surprising resilience: tropical rainforests need just 20 years to bounce back

Researchers say it would take just about 20 years for tropical rainforests&nbsp;to almost fully regrow if left untouched.

If humans don&rsquo;t interfere, tropical rainforests can bounce back to life pretty fast, finds a new study.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Researchers say it would take just about 20 years for tropical rainforests&nbsp;to almost fully regrow if left untouched. Writing in the journal Science, they explained that a multidimensional mechanism where&nbsp;old forest flora and fauna help a new generation of&nbsp;the&nbsp;forest&nbsp;to&nbsp;grow is the reason behind this resilience.

Climate experts say the findings are &lsquo;good&nbsp;news&rsquo;&nbsp;because 20 years is a realistic time that people and policymakers can think&nbsp;and work towards.&nbsp;It also shows that perhaps it's not too late&nbsp;to undo the damage that humans have caused&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Earth&rsquo;s ecosystems.&nbsp;&nbsp;
For the research, around 90 researchers from across the world analysed 77 sites and 2,275 plots of land in the Americas and West Africa.&nbsp;The analysis showed that in 20 years, the tropical forests were able to recover to their old&nbsp;growth&nbsp;by roughly 78 per cent.

Forest fire started around 1 pm on Friday

Thanks to Moirangthem Loiya, 45, & his untiring efforts, Punshilok in Maru Langol hill range is now a green paradise, home to a variety of birds, reptiles & wild animals.
