1. INTRODUCTION
The state of Karnataka is a part of the highly biodiversity rich regions of India. The state is endowed with great diversity of climate, topography and soils. It spans the seacoast with rich aquatic biodiversity and mangrove swamps at the mouths of estuaries. It harbours verdant tropical evergreen forests, paddy fields, and coconut and arecanut orchards on the narrow coast flanked by the hills of Western Ghats. It bears deciduous woods, scrub jungles, fields of sugarcane, cotton, groundnut, ragi and jowar in the Deccan plateau. The different environmental regimes support their own characteristic set of vegetation and animals. Karnataka supports 10% of about total tiger population and about 25% of elephant population of the country. The state has around
Diversity Number of Species
Flowering Plants 4500
Birds 600
Reptiles 160
Fish 800
The wealth of diversity of domesticated plants and animals in farms also holds much promise. The hill chain of Western Ghats is known to have greater diversity of wild relatives of cultivated plants than any other region of comparable size in the world. The aquatic biodiversity in Karnataka is very rich and harbors many endemic species.
Source: www.aranya.gov.in website Forest Resources Forest Resources are the reserves for wildlife and vegetation in different regions of the nation that have several uses and require proper conservation. Forest Resources relate to the distinctive topography, terrain, wildlife, climate and vegetation of the country. Forest resources in India have always been one of the richest resources. Forests provide renewable natural resources and contribute considerably to the economic development of the nation. Forest plantations comprise a vital part of the forest resources. 2 ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2018-19
Forest Resources provides protection to environment and wildlife. It also enhances water holding capacity of soil and rainfall, helps in gaseous cycles of atmosphere, maintains the soil fertility, checks soil erosion, reduces flood disaster etc. Eventually, people have realised the significance of forests resources and the fact that deforestation threatens the ecology. Thus, people have become more interested and involved in conservation of forest resources in India.
Source: www.aranya.gov.in website Forest Types Karnataka is one such state where it has magnificent forests in the India. From the evergreen forests of Western Ghat to scrub or thorny forests in plain areas. 1. Evergreen(Total Area: 4926.02 Sq Km) and Semi-evergreen(Total Area: 1644.20 Sq Km): An evergreen forest is a forest consisting entirely or mainly of evergreen trees that retain green foliage all year round and Semi-evergreen forests are generally considered as a transitional stage between evergreen and moist deciduous forests. These forests are characterised by evergreen trees mixed with deciduous having typical features like less dense canopy, grew gariousness, frequent buttressed trunks, thicker and rougher barks, and heavy climbers. Ex: Dipterocarpus indicus, Hopea parivflora,Myristica fauna, Gymnacranthera canarica, Vateria indica etc., 2. Moist Deciduous(Total Area: 6545 Sq Km): Temperate deciduous forests are located in the areas that has moderate rainfall and temperature and with cold winters. These are the typical monsoon forests in areas where the amount of annual rainfall ranges between 100 cm and 150 cm with mean annual temperature of 24°C to 27°C, and humidity percentage of 60 to 80. They mostly occur along the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats, north-eastern part of the Peninsula . teak (Tectona gradis) are commercially the most significant species; occupying the relatively wetter north-eastern parts of the Peninsula. Ex: Terminalia, Largerstroemia, preterocarpus, Xylia, Tectona and Anogeissus etc., 3. Dry Deciduous Forest(Total Area: 8233.24 Sq Km): The tropical deciduous forests shed leaves during December (in Northern Hemisphere) as water becomes scarce. This type is a degraded version of the moist deciduous. It occupies a vast area of the country between moist deciduous Chapter - 1 : Introduction 3
(in the east) and tropical thorn (in the west) forests. Ex: Acacias, Hardwikicia, Neem, Pongamia, Somida, Santalam albam, Ficus etc., 4. Scrub and Thorny Forest(Total Area: 9264.01 Sq Km): These forests are confined to areas where the rainfall is very low. Here due to paucity of rainfall the trees are stunted with large patches of coarse grasses. The typical vegetation consists of widely spaced acacias, euphorbias including the typical spiny and thorny varieties and clumps of wild palms (Phoenix Sylvester’s) here and there. Ex: Acacia species, Balanites roxburghii, Cordia myxa, Capparis spp., Prosopis spp., Azadirachta indica, Cassia fistula, Diospyros chloroxylon, Carissa carandas, and Phoenix sylvestris etc., 5. Un-wooded((Total Area: 12744.00 Sq Km)): These forests are mainly grass lands and waste land. Source: www.aranya.gov.in website

3. SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT
Karnataka forests are managed according to the frame work prescribed in the National Forest Policy of India 1988. The main themes of forest management are:
• Sustainable development and management of forest meeting needs of the local people shall be the first priority of forest management.
• Protection and management of degraded forests through Joint Forest Planning and Management by involving local community through village forest committees.
• Bio-diversity conservation and eco-tourism.
All 39 Territorial Forest Divisions of the state are expected to carry out works in their areas as per the prescriptions laid down in the working plans. So far working plan reports (WPRs) for 37 divisions namely Bengaluru (U) , Bengaluru (R), Ramanagara, Kolar, Tumakuru, Chikkaballapura, Mysuru, Hunsasuru, Kollegala, Madikeri, Virajpet, Hassan, Chikkamagaluru, Mangaluru, Kundapura, Koppa, Sirsi, Honnavara, Karwar, Haliyal, Yellapura, Dharwad, haveri, Gadag, Belgavi, Gokak, Vijayapura, Bagalkote, Kalburgi, Yadgiri, Raichur, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Shivamogga, Sagara, Bhadravathi and Ballari have been approved. Working Plan reports for Kopal and Bidar divisions have been submitted to Government for approval.
The Forest department is no longer adopting the earlier Silvicultural practices of “conversion to uniform” or “clear felling and planting” systems. Such systems have been known to be harmful to the eco system and have a deleterious effect on local fauna and flora. Instead the emphasis is more and more on managing the forests as an eco-system. Timber and firewood production is limited to salvaging the dead and fallen trees of valuable hardwood only. Production of industrial woods is limited to plantations areas. Extraction of timber, firewood/pulpwood, bamboo & cane is done by way of improvements felling, thinning from plantation and clear felling of fuel wood plantation subject to condition that extracted area must be planted with suitable species. Harvesting of NTFPs is done by LAMPS (Large Scale Adivasi Multipurpose Co-operative Societies) as well as contractor. 14 ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2018-19
4. METHODS OF EXTRACTION OF FOREST PRODUCE & ITS DISPOSAL
Only dead and fallen trees are salvaged. The Karnataka State Forest Industries Corporation, which is a Government undertaking, is entrusted with the logging work. Timber and major forest produce for the year 2018-19 is given in Table (5) and Recorded Minor Forest Produce is given in Table (6). Large Scale Adivasi Multipurpose co-operative Societies (LAMPS): In order to facilitate the forest dwelling tribes to profitably utilise the Non Timber Forest Produce from the forest areas 22 LAMPS have been constituted in the districts of Mysuru, Chamarajanagara, Dakshina Kannada, Chikkmagaluru, Kodagu, Uttara Kannada and Udupi. A nominal fee of Rs.250/- is being collected from the LAMP Societies for allowing them to collect and dispose N.T.F.P. (Non Timber Forest Produce) in pursuance to G O No. Apaji/40/FDP/2008 dated 19/08/2013. METHOD OF DISPOSAL: There are three methods of disposal of timber and other forest produce from the Government Depots. 1. By Auction Sale 2. By Retail Sale 3. Allotment i. By Auction Sale :- The timber received in the Depot is arranged into convenient lots according to the quality, girth and length. After arriving at the value of each lot depending upon the past rates obtained, it is exposed for public auction. Depot sales are held normally twice in a year by the concerned Deputy Conservator of Forests. ii. By Retail Sale:- In this method the timber and other forest produce which are allotted from the Depot are released at the schedule rates fixed from time to time. Deputy Conservator of Forests and higher officers are empowered to sanction retail sale of timber in small quantities at scheduled rates, which is based on the highest rates received in the previous sales. Such releases are only for bonafide use of the public. iii. Allotment : - The Government has powers to sanction timber, sandalwood etc., at concession rate to institutions and individuals for bonafide use. Chapter - 5 : Developmental Activities 15

b. Krishi Aranya Protsaha Yojane: As per the National Forest Policy of 1988, 33% of the Geographical area must be under forest and tree cover. To achieve this goal, the Department has taken up various afforestation programmes on private & public lands. This has been achieved successfully through involvement of farmers, public and NGOs. Government of Karnataka has launched “KRISHI ARANYA PROTSAHA YOJANE”, programme from the year 2011. A provision has been made in the guidelines of the programme that the farmers, public and voluntary organizations may obtain the seedlings at subsidized rates from the nearest nurseries of the department. Seedlings so obtained be planted in their land and nurtured. The incentive will be paid to farmers for each survived seedlings from the Government and they are entitled to get returns from such seedlings when it attains maturity. In the year 2017-18 under Krishi Aranya Prothsaha Yojana pending incentive of Rs. 641.412 lakh and Rs. 61.232 lakh service charges totaling to Rs. 702.644 lakh was paid during 2018-19 . 4. Cultivation of Sandalwood Plantations: HOA: 2406-01-101-2-83-AFNFA-139- MW.
