Future Development Plan ¾Uttarakhand’ one of the natural resource rich sate in India ¾Geographically, the Uttarakhand lies on the southern slope of the Himalayan range with its climate and vegetation varying greatly with elevation, from glaciers at the highest elevations to subtropical forests at lower mountain ranges and valleys. ¾Uttarakhand is unique in its topographical features in which about 9393%% area is mountainous and 6464%%landland is covered by forest.. forest ¾The sub tropical belt is covered with the evergreen and moist deciduous forest, woodland and savannahsavannah.. Adjacent to and to the north of the subtropical forests is aabandbandof subtropical pine forest dominated by Chir pine with pockets of other conifers such as spruce, fifir and dddeodar Major Environmental Issues which needs close attention in terms of scientifi c researc h and dldevelopment ……......
