The Balangir district forestry forum has stressed on maintenance of record and codification of efforts in preservation of forest by different forest protection committees in different villages in the district.

In its recent meet held at Karlabahali village, 45km from here, the district forestry forum on Thursday deliberated on the problem faced by different village protection committee and passed different resolutions.

Forest has been a source of livelihood to people dwelling in and around the forest by providing them fuel, fodder, medicinal herbs, various NTFPS like mahul and char etc, besides providing good environment. Even as the forest has been continuously giving, community contribution towards forest has been very minimal.

The forum also decided that each member of a family in a village would contribute at least one rupee in a year and the collected amount would be deposited in the village forest protection fund, informed Kulamani Sahu of District Forestry forum, Balangir.
