VISION 2047 – Forest Management Framework (Madhya Pradesh Forest Department)
Guiding Principles
Forest as ecological asset (not timber revenue)
Community partnership (co-governance)
Landscape-based conservation
Climate adaptation & carbon management
Blend science + traditional knowledge
Shift in Working Plan Philosophy (Present → 2047)
Regeneration focus → Ecosystem services focus
Compartment planning → Landscape planning
Timber valuation → Carbon + water + biodiversity valuation
Limited community role → Gram Sabha co-management
Static 10-year plan → Adaptive plan with real-time monitoring
Strategic Themes
A. Landscape & Biodiversity
Map corridors (Kuno–Ranthambhore, Kanha–Pench, Satpura–Melghat)
Restore degraded forests using native climate-resilient species
AI-enabled wildlife monitoring (drones, camera traps, thermal imaging)
B. Climate-Resilient Silviculture
Shift to multi-objective Working Circles:
1. Water Security
2. Biodiversity Conservation
3. Climate Resilience & Carbon Banking
4. Community Forest Management
Prioritize Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR)
C. Community-Based Governance
Integrate Gram Sabhas + JFMCs
Transparent benefit sharing (NTFP, tourism, carbon revenue)
Document traditional ecological knowledge
D. Forest Economy / Livelihoods
NTFP value chain clusters (Mahua, Chironjee, Lac, Bamboo)
Eco-tourism + green jobs
Carbon credit projects (national + voluntary markets)
Core Working Plan Prescriptions (Common to all Working Circles)
Regeneration → ANR + soil/moisture conservation + invasive control
Harvesting → sustainable norms based on regeneration success
Wildlife → maintain mosaics, waterholes, grasslands
Water → ridge-to-valley treatment + check-dams
Fire → GIS alerts + community-managed fire lines
NTFP → Gram Sabha-led collection & processing
Monitoring → remote sensing + permanent plots + annual carbon audit
Institutional Strengthening
Create State Centre for Forest Research, Carbon & Climate Resilience
GIS/Remote-sensing labs + ecologists/socio-economists/hydrologists
Continuous training of staff & community institutions
FCA & FRA Strategy
FRA accountability framework (prevent misinterpretation/encroachment)
Transparent verification & monitoring
Compensatory Afforestation (CA):
✓ Identify CA lands
✓ Notify CA lands (Sec 29 → Sec 4 → Sec 20)
✓ Create CA land bank + Exit protocol
Expected Outcomes (2047)
Increased forest cover & canopy density
Improved soil moisture & river basin security
Strong wildlife habitat + increased populations
Green economy through NTFP + carbon + eco-tourism
MP forests recognized as national climate mitigation asset
