Track 1-1-1: Global Database on Availability, Productivity and Composition of Grasslands, Forests and Protected Areas
Description
Silvipastures are one of the important resource bases of a country. They are not only the main source of herbage availability for the livestock rearing and wildlife but also the major instrument for wasteland rehabilitation. Despite of enormous importance, there was a huge gap about the available information on natural forage resources (grasslands/forage trees/silvipastures), their makeup, successions, and coverage constrains and scope for improvement (Dabadghao and Shankarnarayan, 1973). Therefore, an attempt has been made to identify and delineate the natural silvipastoral cover of India which will help in effective planning and execution of watershed development and other forage programmes wherein livestock needs are to be addressed.
