Measures of the act:-
➡️The forest are the resource of nation.It is vital for the government to establish proper coordination between forest department and the local communities.✔️
➡️People participation, PPP(Public Private Partnership), Joint forest management are some of the methods that can be implemented in various eco-fragile areas.✔️
➡️Financing nature is often a challenge for developing country.✔️
➡️A promising approach 'debt for nature swaps' is being adopted at global level.✔️
➡️In this, conservation organisation buy debt obligation at a discount on the secondary market and than offer to cancel a debt if the debtor country promises to protect or restore an area of biological importance.✔️
➡️It should be taken care that while continuos logging, protection of most valuable forests including stream side buffer strip and prime wildlife habitat should also be done.✔️
➡️There are some alternative for clear cutting of forest for timer, log etc. like shelter wood harvesting, in which mature trees are remove in a series of two or more cut, strip cutting, in which all trees in a narrow corridor are harvested and selective cutting.✔️
