Essay on the Uses of Forest Resources in India:

The chief products that forests supply is wood which is used as fuel; raw materials for various industries as pulp, paper, newsprint, board, plywood; timber for furniture items, toys, sports goods, musical instruments, wooden crates, boxes (for packing articles for fruit, tea, etc.), boats, truck bodies, carts, ploughs, railway sleepers, bridges, buildings; fodder for catties, sheep, goats and camels and bamboos.

Bamboos, called poor man’s timber, are used in rafters, scaffolding, roofing, walling, flooring, basketry, cart-wood and cordage. Industrially bamboos are used as a raw material in paper and rayon industry. Indian forests also supply minor forest products such as canes (rattans), gums, resins, rubber, dyes, tannins, fibres, floes, medicines, katha, insecticides, camphor, essential oils (e.g., rosha grasses, khas and sandal woods), cooking oils and spices.

Tendu (kendu) leaves are used as wrappers for bidis, soap-substitutes such as ritha and shikakai, sola pith and ornamental seeds rudraksha are important commercial products of the forests. Lac, honey, wax, tusser or moga silk are obtained from forest insects. Feathers, horns, hides and ivory are also other significant forest product (obtained from forest wild life). For tribal people forests also provide food (tuber, roots, leaves, fruits, meat from birds and other animals).

Besides forests are also a major factor of environmental concern, providing protection to wild life, help in gaseous (i.e., CO2, O2) cycles of atmosphere, tend to enhance local rainfall and water holding capacity of soil, maintain the soil fertility, regulate the earth’s temperature regimes and water cycle, check soil erosion, landslides, shifting of sand and silting and reduce the flood havoc. Forests play an important role in reducing atmos­pheric pollution by collecting the suspended particulate matter and by absorbing carbon dioxide. Lastly, forests have aesthetic and touristic values and serve as gene reserve of important species.
