Tree plantation

The measure is expected to boost afforestation in Maharashtra

The state government may soon make money grow on trees. For, it is planning to establish a system on lines of carbon credits, where "tree credits" can be given as an incentive to those planting trees.

The credits will be purchased by polluting industries, making Maharashtra the first in India to implement this system. In the concept, which is being worked out, the state is eventually planning to establish a corporation where these credits, which will be geo-tagged with the tree's latitude and longitude, can be traded and sold like on the stock market or commodity exchange.

A five-member committee will submit it's report by September with details of the policy and proposed regulatory framework. The measure is expected to boost afforestation in Maharashtra, which has just 20.01% of recorded forest areas (RFAs) compared to 23.26% nationally. The National Forest Policy, 1988, has a target of 33%.

The plan will reward people growing wood trees like saag, neem, babhool, and mohua. The state may launch a pilot project in drought-affected areas like Marathwada with low forest cover. "We are planning a legislation for establishing the tree credits system," finance and forests minister Sudhir Mungantiwar told dna.

"Once a farmer plants trees, it will get a unique number based on the latitude and longitude," added Mungantiwar, stating that these tree credits could be traded like in the share or commodity markets. A specialised company will be formed to control and monitor the system. Mungantiwar said they could make it mandatory for candidates in local body polls to have tree credits like the rule mandating that they have a toilet at home. Schemes like concessions to tourism projects holding credits and polluting industries like thermal power plants purchasing a certain number of tree credits can be evolved.
