11Chapter - 4 : System of Management
4. SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT
Karnataka forests are managed according to the frame work prescribed in the NationalForest Policy of India 1988. The main themes of forest management are:
• Sustainable development and management of forest meeting needs of the localpeople shall be the first priority of forest management.
• Protection and management of degraded forests through Joint Forest Planningand Management by involving local community through village forest committees.
• Bio-diversity conservation and eco-tourism.
The Forest department is no longer adopting the earlier Silvicultural practices of“conversion to uniform” or “clear felling and planting” systems. Such systems havebeen known to be harmful to the eco system and have a deleterious effect on localfauna and flora. Instead the emphasis is more and more on managing the forests asan eco-system. Timber and firewood production is limited to salvaging the dead andfallen trees of valuable hardwood only. Production of industrial woods is limited toplantationsareas. Extraction of timber, firewood/pulpwood, bamboo & cane is done byway of improvements felling, thinning from plantation and clear felling of fuel woodplantation subject to condition that extracted area must be planted with suitable species.Harvesting of NTFPs is done by LAMPS (Large Scale Adivasi Multipurpose Co-operativeSocieties) as well as contractor.
