KEY POINTS

Measures

·        Women Non-Tribal Forest Produce collectors can be trained to sweep fallen leaves under mahua trees

·        Burn the fallen leaves in a controlled manner, which will prevent the fire entering forest areas.

·        Local van suraksha samitis (forest protection committees) can be promised a reward if they manage to successfully prevent forest fire in their locality.

·        At the same time, public oversight must be ensured the forest department gets to work and is accountable for the job.

·        A state-level toll free number can also be used to inform the administration of fire occurrences.

·        Forest fighters must be equipped with air blowers, vehicles and safety wire.

·        The forest fire lines which are strips kept clear of vegetation, help break the forest into compartments to prevent fires from spreading.

Try to include about the reasons for forest fire that are specific to Similipal forest, like collection of mahua flowers. Keep Writing.
