FOREST RESEARCH
It is necessary to enhance research or thematic study and develop new technologies on forest management in order to restore forest vegetation and conserve forest and biodiversity efficiently. There are many potential themes, such as inventory of NTFPs including medicinal plants, value addition of NTFPs, effective charcoal making methods, and bamboo charcoal making.
Another potential theme is to develop restoration technologies of degraded areas due to coal mining. Top soil was removed, and remaining soil was compacted in such areas, therefore, special technologies are required to restore ecosystem of the areas. For example, a small scale experimental plot for restoration of ecosystem of post coal mining land will be established to develop methods of the restoration.
In addition to the above potential themes, the following research topics shall also be prioritized.
Key Activities
- Biological Control of Invasive Weed
- Establishment of Experimental Seed Production Area (SPA)
- Conservation of Endangered and Threatened Species
