PROJECT ABSTRACT
Title
Establishing the Integrated Forest Fire Management for Sustainable Management of
Tropical Dry Deciduous Forests in Central India
.1.1.1. Summary
The proposed project seeks to develop overall understanding of technical, administrativeand institutional framework of the forest fire management in Tropical Dry Deciduous
Forests of the Central India (Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra States). The insight
from the studies will be used for identification of the priority areas for the Integrated
Forest Fire Management (IFFM). The proposed research will help in establishing the
site-specific fire indices for the forest fire danger rating as well as identification of
suitable forest fire mitigation methods. The project also aims at evolving the detailed
forest fire policy and associated planning and implementing institutions at village,
division and the state levels. The project will have a number of capacity-building
programs for the frontline forest officials and community members, so that they can
implement IFFM in their area. The proposed IFFM extension package and the IFFMHandbook are intended to serve the extension needs of the IFFM program.
A series of reports, policy documents, training programs and extension material are the
expected outputs. The project is expected to improve the forest fire management
practices. The project is a combination of the field observation and the institution
building for the purpose of establishing IFFM in the project area.

PART I: CONTEXT STATEMENTOFPURPOSE
Title of the project: Establishing the Integrated Forest Fire Management for
Sustainable Management of Tropical Dry Deciduous Forests in Central
India
.2 ORIGIN
This project proposal is new, and was not supported by the International Tropical Timber
Organisation (ITTO) or any other funding agency at any earlier stage. However, the
experience from ongoing ITTO-funded project titled "Sustainable Tropical Forest
Management through Community Participation in India" for evolving criteria and
indicators of the sustainable forest management in the dry zone forests of Central India
has been gainfully used in preparing this proposal.
The fire management decisions are largely based on incomplete information. It is
worthwhile to note here that existing knowledge of fire management in tropical dry
forests is generally limited to studies in Eucalyptus forests.1
The Modern ForestFire Control Project (UNDP/ FAO/ GOI)2, launched in 1980s at two sites, was
implemented in Dry Teak Forests of Chandrapur in Maharashtra. The project yielded
valuable experience of the forest fire management in the dry zone forests of Central
India. The Madhya Pradesh State also has its forest fire management program. These
programs address some components of the fire management, but are inadequate in
dealing with the forest fire in a comprehensive manner. The Forest Survey of India has
chalked out a countrywide satellite-based monitoring and surveillance program for the
forest fire at the national level to be launched in near future. The program should be
able to provide information on the large forest fire covering hundreds of hectares. Such
national programs are not designed to address local issues and prompt response in the
field. Further, the reporting system must be supported by capacity building measures at
the field level. Limited availability of resources and time for the forest fire management
underscores the necessity of a well-defined fire prevention and fire mitigation strategy.
There is urgent need to develop and establish the integrated forest fire
management based on broad understanding of technical, administrative and
institutional issues of the fire management. The proposed project aims at
reducing ecological, social and economic damages caused by the recurring forest
fires in this region.

PART II: THE PROJECT THE PROBLEM & BACKGROUND
.3 THE NEED
Changing administrative and institutional environment require new approach for dealing
with the forest fire. Although the 1987 Guidelines prescribe it, the integrated forest fire
management has not been applied in the field working. The forest fires in dry zoneforests have severe injurious effects on biodiversity and forest productivity, and hence, it
is proposed that establishing the Integrated Forest Fire Management in the region
should be considered on priority. Although Tropical Dry Deciduous Forests3cover a vast
area, the bulk of such forests are in Central India. The project areas fall in two states
Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. Accordingly, the development objectives and
subsequent specific objectives have been defined as follows:
.4 PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
.4.1. Problems to be addressed
Shrinking forest resources and population pressures along with conflicting demands onforests have led to increase in biotic pressures. Bulk of the dry zone forests is burned
more than once a year. Forest fire has been found to be one of the important causative
factors inhibiting natural regeneration, productivity loss, shrinkage of non-wood forest
products particularly those from herbs and shrubs, and depletion of biodiversity in the
forest ecosystem in India. The problem attains greater seriousness in the Tropical Dry
Deciduous Forests of Central India having long dry spell making them susceptible to
frequent fire and resulting damage. The Supreme Court of India in the Godavarman
Case4had clearly laid down the supremacy of regeneration concerns in the forest
management. Hence, the state is under obligation to institute an effective forest fire
management for ensuring adequate forest regeneration.These damages have disastrous effect on the village poor living in vicinity of forest
areas. Loss of species providing gainful employment and economic benefits to the local
population has forced the forest dependent populations to adopt seasonal emigration in
search of employment. Some villagers may engage in timber poaching and
unsustainable extraction of non-wood forest products or firewood.
The Joint Forest Management (JFM) adopted in the region has shown immense
promises for mobilising community support for the forest protection including fire
protection measures for the sustainable forest management. Although the village forest
committees have been recognised as key entities in the forest fire management, the
processes of institution building and capacity building have not been given due attention.

The forest fires in Tropical Dry Deciduous Forests in Central India are generally surface
fires with varying intensity. It is commonly perceived that natural fires are rare, and most
forest fires are anthropogenic in nature. Often fires are caused by negligence, but the
fire incidences are also associated with collection of non-wood forest products.
Research on Forest Fire in India is scanty, and baseline data are not available. Hence,
detailed fire danger rating based on local field data is absent. The forest fire
management is largely confined to the fire line cutting and quick mobilisation of strike
force after sighting occurrence of the forest fire incidence. There is a need to develop
policy at the national level which is specifically focussed on forest fire management
comprising considerations for ecosystem maintenance, forest fire prevention, detection,
suppression, prescribed fires etc. However, a monolithic fire policy for the sustainable
forest management can not be prescribed for the wide range of ecological, socio-cultural
and economic conditions that exists within the regions. The perception and attitude of
local communities and frontline forest officials about the forest fire is changing, and its
understanding is crucial for effective forest fire policy.

Benefits of the Proposal
4. INTENDEDSITUATIONAFTERPROJECTCOMPLETION
After completion of the project the following situation appears probable: Understanding of technical and institutional framework will help in evolving better
forest fire management practices.
Forest fire incidences will reduce because of capacity building for Integrated Forest
Fire Management among foresters, communities, NGOs and others as well as effective
extension, planning and management of forest fires in tropical dry deciduous forests.
The Forest Fire reporting system will be developed.
Reduction in forest fire and its intensity should help in checking forest degradation
and loss of biodiversity.
Enhanced livelihood support to forest-dependent communities through better
forest productivity.
Description of Solution
5. PROJECT STRATEGY
5.1. Site Selection
Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra are known for their rich biodiversity heritage. More
than 1800 plant and 600 animal species are reported from the region. Poor tribal
communities are scattered throughout Tropical Dry Deciduous Forests, and they are
largely dependent on these forests for their livelihoods. Collection of non-wood forest
products including large variety of medicinal plants is very important life-sustaining and
income-generating source for millions of poor. In addition, the study area has valuable
timber resources in the teak forests. Commercially important timber species found in the
area are Teak (Tectona grandis), Bija (Pterocarpus marsupium), Khamer or Sivan
(Gmelina arborea), Saja (Terminalia alata), Satin wood (Chloroxylon sweitenia), Tendu
(Diospyros melanaxylon), Dhawda (Anogeisssus latifolia), Sisham (Dalbergia latifolia). A
large number of peninsular rivers originate from the study area, and hence, forest covers
in the area have strong influence over river flow and quality of river water. Forest
Conservation in tropical forest ecosystem will not only have impact at local and regionallevels but also have national implications.
The proposed project will use four study areas, two in each states. The study area will
overlap with key wildlife protected areas, namely, Tadoba National Park in Chandrapur,
Melghat Tiger Reserve in Amravati, Bori Wildlife Sanctuary in Hoshangabad and Panna
National Park in Panna. Accordingly, the project sites will include parts of Hoshangabad
and Panna Districts in Madhya Pradesh and Chandrapur and Amravati Districts in

Maharashtra. Since the Forest Fire Project in Chandrapur has substantial historical
records, this area will make the primary research site.
