  • Graduate Student Summer Fieldwork Award Report, October 2019
    Institute for Regional and International Studies (IRIS) Graduate Student Summer Fieldwork Award Report, October 2019 Quantifying forest loss in the Nethravathi watershed, India Deepika Guruprasad, Environmental Observation and Informatics Master’s Program Nelson Institute, UW Madison. The Western Ghats is a mountain range which runs parallel to the western coast of India. It is a global biodiversity hotspot which is home to several endangered and endemic mammals, birds and plant species. Many life-sustaining rivers originate here and provide several irreplaceable ecosystem services. The Nethravathi river is one of the major west flowing rivers whose tributaries originate in these mountains. Its watershed has some of the last untouched tropical forests which are key to maintaining connectivity between two protected areas, Kudremukh National Park in the North and Pushpagiri Wildlife sanctuary in the South. In the last 20 years, this region has seen a rapid loss of forests due to ill-planned linear infrastructure projects such as pipelines, roads, hydroelectric, and river diversion dams. These projects have and continue to fragment the landscape as new projects are proposed and implemented with little or no impact assessment. Land use change alters a homogenous landscape into heterogeneous patches, which leads to habitat fragmentation. My summer leadership placement was with the wildlife advocacy non-profit, Wildlife First. The objective of this placement was to map and quantify forest loss due to linear infrastructure projects in the Nethravathi river watershed. Filling in data gaps using reliable land use maps and forest loss statistics is key to make evidence-based policy recommendations. The first part of my project was to map land use of the region using satellite imagery.

    1 Assessing the historical forest Encroachment of Kodagu region of Western Ghats, South India using remote sensing and GIS G.R. Pramod Kumar*, A.M. Hemanjali, P. Ravikumar, R.K. Somashekar** and B.C. Nagaraja Department of Environmental Science, Bangalore University, Bangalore – 560056 Email: *pramodgowdagmail.com, **[email protected] Abstract The present study is focused on RS and GIS based assessment of forest encroachment in Kodagu district of Karnataka for the year 1990, 2000 and 2010 using Landsat TM/MSS for 1990 and 2000, and IRS LISS III for the year 2010. It’s located in the south-western part of Karnataka state, geographically stretched between 110 56' to120 52’ N and 750 22’ to760 12’ E, with a total area of 4101.21 Km2. The study revealed that the encroachment in reserve forest area accounts for 291.6 ha, 284.8 ha and 173.7 ha respectively for the year, 2010, 2000 and 1990. The highest encroachment is being noticed in Somavarpet, Kushalnagar ranges in Madikeri division and major encroachment is witnessed moist and dry deciduous, other plantation and mixed forest plantation. The major factors accelerating are expansion of agriculture, plantations, rapid growth of urbanization, development of utility services, population dependency of forest livelihood and poverty. Keywords: Western Ghats, Forest types, Encroachment, Zonal classification, Land use Land cover Introduction The forests are playing a vital role in regulating the climate and biodiversity conservation despite providing livelihood benefits to millions of people living in and around the forests.The forests of the Western Ghats region of peninsular India have undergone significant transformations over the past century (Ref).
