The project is aimed at to promote sustainable forest management in Pakistan’s western Himalayan temperate coniferous, subtropical broad leaved evergreen thorn (scrub) and riverine forest for biodiversity conservation, mitigation of climate change and securing of forest ecosystem service. This paper encompasses the study of socio-economic aspects of the salt range scrub forest landscape located in Chakwal and Jhelum Districts of the Punjab province, to develop a framework for sustainable management. The landscape represents an ecosystem that contributes largely to economic and welfare of the communities which depend, directly or indirectly on the exploitation of natural resources of this ecosystem. Hence, there is interrelationship between environment and socio- economic conditions prevailing in the area. They are affected by the natural environment with its various ecosystems which provide continues supply of goods and services. The stability of environment, sustainable forest management and welfare of communities are highly associated and correlated. The total area of landscape is 20,000 ha, out of which 7,859 ha is forested and owned by the state, and 6,672 ha in the outer landscape is private land, including cultivation (1,752 ha) and pastures and settlements, 5469 ha is communal land.

    Sci.Int.(Lahore),27(2),1243-1246,2015 ISSN 1013-5316; CODEN: SINTE 8 1243 RANKING OF PALEOCENE AGE COAL SALT RANGE, PUNJAB AND ITS APPLICATION IN COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS 1 Hafiz Muhammad Zulfaqar Ali 2Muhammad Saleem Khan Department of Geological Engineering University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, Pakistan ([email protected], [email protected]) ABSTRACT: Proximate analysis from coal of Paleocene age has been tested for their determination of its rank. Numbers of coal samples were collected from various underground coal mines located at Wahula Dandot and Padhrar in Salt Range. These samples were tested by applying standard method for the determination of moisture contents, ash contents, volatile matter, fixed carbon, sulfur and gross calorific value. The results indicate that all the values lies within the rank of Lignite; however the values of moisture content are lower than lignite. A comparison has been made of our result with the market demand which show its suitability of the salt Range coal for Coal Fired Power Plants (CFPP). Key words: Coal Ranking, Punjab Coal, Paleocene age, Coal Fired Power Plant INTRODUCTION RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS Pakistan has large coal reserves but the deposits need to be Proximate analysis covers the percentage of moisture exploited for provincial and national development. Coal contents, volatile matter, ash contents and fix carbon .Thus it resources and their discoveries are necessary in order to is important to both the suppliers and users of coal to have a meet increasing demands of energy. Pakistan is ranked 7th rapid, accurate and reliable procedure to obtain this internationally regarding lignite coal reserves.
