Real-Time Monitoring of Forest Plantations
In a major step toward environmental transparency and accountability, the Uttarakhand government has announced that every single sapling planted in forest areas will now be monitored via satellite. This initiative is aimed at ensuring that plantation drives are effective and the planted trees are growing as planned.
Satellite-Based Tracking System Introduced
The Forest Department will utilize advanced satellite imagery and GIS technology to track the location, health, and survival rate of each sapling. This system will help eliminate discrepancies in plantation data and promote better forest management.
Focus on Transparency and Accountability
Officials stated that this move is designed to increase accountability among forest officials and contractors. By using satellite monitoring, authorities can verify whether plantation targets are being met and whether the funds allocated for afforestation are being properly utilized.
