Welcome to swaranyosocial organization Mohua Aranya Udyog

The main objectives of Mohua Aranya Udyog under swaranyosocial organization are:

There is an international consensus that the sustainable management of forest ecosystems contributes towards human well-being. The ecosystem services that forests provide meet people’s economic, cultural and spiritual needs at local, national and global levels

India is among the top ten forested countries in the world. The total forest and tree cover in the country is over 78 million hectares, or 23.8% of the country’s geographical area. However, very dense forests (where the tree canopy density is greater than 70%) cover a mere 2.5%. The growing stock of India’s forests is about 58.46 m3 /hectare, which is less than half the global average of 131 m3 /hectare. Therefore, there is great potential to enhance the stocking and carbon storage value of India’s forests making a significant contribution towards climate change mitigation.

The strategy considers forest lands, common lands and private lands in a landscape to develop an integrated and holistic plan to ensure sustained or enhanced supply of ecosystem services, including livelihood benefits from sustainable use. The focus on sustainable use to support local livelihoods is critical since well over half of India’s workforce is still engaged in the agriculture sector and – despite rapid progress in recent years – poverty continues to be a major challenge. Convergence with relevant ongoing initiatives and utilization of existing policy and legal spaces is likely to improve the odds of acceptance and adoption of this strategy by relevant stakeholder groups and enhance the possibility of its implementation on the ground. Developing or adapting innovative forest management models, tools and techniques from different parts of India as well as other countries will help bring national and international best practices to different local contexts.
