1 MONITORING OF FOREST COVER IN INDIA Organizational Structure FSI (HQRS) DEHRADUN Regional Offices DEVENDRA PANDEY Director, Forest Survey of India, Dehradun GOFC-GOLD Symposium on Forest Land Cover Observations Jena, Germany, March 2006 North Zone Shimla East Zone Kolkatta Central Zone Nagpur South Zone Bangalore Forest Cover Assessment in India National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA) of the Department of Space first attempted in 1983 using satellite data Simultaneously, Forest Survey of India (FSI) also started the assessment First report on the forest cover of India was published by the FSI in 1987 through State of Forest Report (SFR) FSI has been mandated to monitor the forest cover of the country on a two year cycle since then So far nine assessments have been done. The latest (9th) one was published as SFR 2003 in the year FOREST COVER ASSESSMENTS BY FSI A brief history Cycle Year of Assessment Satellite & Sensor Resolution Scale I II III IV V VI VII VIII LANDSAT MSS LANDSAT TM IRS-1B LISS-II IRS-1C LISS-III IRS-1C/1D LISS-III 80m x 80m 30m x 30m 36m x 36m 23m x 23m 23m x 23m 1:1million 1:250,000 1:50,000 IX 2003 IRS-1D, LISS-III 23m x 23m 1:50,000

Comprises of small patches of tress (less than 1.0 ha) in plantations and woodlots, or scattered trees on farms, homesteads and urban areas or tree along linear features such as roads, canals, bunds etc. TREE COVER Methodology: Stratification of country into 14 Physiographic Zones. Sixty districts (10 % of total districts in the country) are randomly selected. High resolution satellite data used for identification of TOF in rural areas of district and stratification Urban Frame Survey Blocks as done NSSO is used for TOF in urban inventory.

5 Forest Fire Maps FSI has recently taken initiative in near real time detection and monitoring of occurrence of forest fire. Presently FSI is using information based on MODIS satellite data on a daily basis. The fire locations downloaded are then overlaid on forest cover maps to rule out occurrence of fire outside forests. The geo coordinates of fire locations within forest cover along with ancillary information are communicated to the concerned SFD for verification and further action. Forest Fire Location Dense Forest Open Forest FIRE POINTS OVERLAID ON THE FOREST COVER MAP (As on ) THANK YOU!
