Compensatory Afforestation

[7] However, the government has put in place measures for compensatory afforestation to meet the tremendous economic growth characterized by vast industrialization.

[18] Initiated in China in 1999 in Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan, the compensatory afforestation scheme has so far resulted to the appreciation of forest coverage by 23%.

[7] This is in conjunction with the ecological red line endeavour which restricts human activities in forests and calls for replacing the depleted ones.

[19] Ultimately, compensatory afforestation policies have evolved to better reforms over the years to become valuable contributors to the development of new forests and climate change.

Notably, compensatory afforestation does not inhibit human activities on forests but rather creates room for them and calls for the planting of new ones.

[22] This has adverse impacts on the flora and fauna since natural forests present more benefits in terms of diversity compared to the artificial ones.

Undoubtedly, the legitimization of forests destruction and encroaching of community owned lands can be attributed to compensatory afforestation.

[23] In India, there is need for strict implementation of the reform due to complaints by most individuals that CAMPA does not follow up to ensure that the destroyed forests are not wholly compensated.

The High Court in India in the year 2000, ruled out on details that surrounded the good process of CA by the Ministry.

They gave out rules that specifically laid out the measures for identification together with the sustainability of land that has been set aside for the purpose of Afforestation compensation.
