Is cutting the trees good for the environment?. Will it help in carbon sink?. Am of the view that old trees that reached their rotation age (age after which their addition of volume in growth is lesser than the normal) should be cut atleast. Atleast 5% of the old trees should be cut?. I think now I am looking like Villain for all of you. Yes I too thought like cutting of trees is against environment and carbon storage. But its wrong. Read ahead. Every tree has a rotation year. After which it's growth deteriorates and it cannot store more carbon. Further it eats up lot of space where no new sapling can be grown. When you cut this old tree and convert it into a furniture, you are storing the carbon permanently thus acting as carbon sink and reducing carbon emission. When u allow this tree to deteriorate on its own it will release more carbon than storing it. So in that place if you plant new sapling, it will store more carbon and add more volume addition than a older tree. But not all old trees should be cut. In a compartment ( a forest area), 5% of old trees can be cut. This timber will help to replace plastic which is against nature. So wood is good,if scientifically managed. Here, in this picture we are doing mensuration exercise i.e calculating volume, height, age of the tree that is fit to cut. By scientifically managing forest we can store more carbon and attain our INDC. Further, by making revenue out of forest , encroachment can be reduced, local people get employment opportunities, government also allocate more land to forestry purpose. Its a win win situation. Give a thought over it. Don't outrightly reject the idea. Likes means acceptance. Comments are welcome. Forests here means plantation forest. Not pristine natural forest. And also dragging a logged timber from a natural forest costs more than the timber itself. #upsc #upscmotivation #ignfa #indianforestservice #ifs2018 #ifs #wood #timber #forest #trees

Our introductory tour was to Jim Corbett. Bijrani is one of the zone near by. It was heavily raining on that day. We were given an option to go out for study Flora, fauna and landscape of Bijrani zone along with WII faculty team. Few of us went with them. Never seen such a beautiful, pleasant forest anywhere before. We stopped near a bush where a spotted deer was standing. Being an engineer, my questions to WII faculty were very basic." Do they have only bushes to hide during rains?." Check the video to know the answer. Field is always beautiful, when field becomes your classroom, learning becomes fun. Ps: wondering what will we do saving this Flora and fauna?. For your information, these natural beauty is giving minimum 100cr an year to Uttarakhand government via eco tourism. And forest department is doing wonderful job of wildlife management, landscape management, tourism, tourist management, shops, constructing forest roads, employment generation etc... #IFSdiaries #ifs2018 #indianforestservice #ignfa #upsc #upscmotivation #deer #corbett

Egyptian vulture, one of the old world Vultures, perching on dead tree top. Why dead trees are important?. Why can't we just remove it and plant new saplings?. Dead tree top's provide 360* view to raptors to lookout for their prey. Holes in dead tree provides shelter for small mammals. Bark of dead trees houses many insect thus attracting woodpeckers. Dead tree, in itself is an ecosystem. So, next time when you enter any forest, lookout for dead trees, you can definitely find raptors there. These erect dead trees with top branches are called Snag. Thanks to @bargavi for pointing it out. #IFSdiaries #ifs2018 #indianforestservice #ignfa #upsc #upscmotivation #tree #birds #birds_life #birdsofindia #wildlifephotography #VJsLenz #birdsofparadise #instagood
