Plantations in sanctuaries and national parks shall be extracted for reverting such areas to natural forests. Clear felling of plantations along steep terrains shall be discouraged. Mechanisation may be introduced in a phased manner in planting and maintenance operations, logging and in timber depots.
The report further recommends that the use of chemical fertilisers, fungicides, weedicides and insecticides shall be banned within forest areas. The management interventions in forest areas shall be on the basis of their natural functional units namely watersheds and eco-systems. They shall be oriented to conserve soil and water as well as biomass production potential.
The present policy of ban on clear felling and selection felling in the natural forests shall be continued subject to the condition that dead and wind fallen trees from areas other than protected areas can be removed with strict check and monitoring, provided it is economically viable, without constructing additional roads. Dead and wind fallen sandalwood trees shall be extracted.
While undertaking enrichment planting as a part of eco-restoration of degraded forests, the natural regeneration of indigenous species shall not be cut and removed in the name of pre-planting operations such as slash felling. Special schemes may be formulated and implemented for the conservation of high biodiversity value areas, special ecosystems like Myristica swamps and forest tracts having heritage and anthropological uniqueness.
