searchrawlers in the killing of turtles, but suggested that a post-mortem should
be undertaken to arrive at a definite conclusion.
Forest officials and environmentalists are worried over the absence of Olive Ridleys at Gahirmatha marine sanctuary, their traditional nesting site. Meanwhile, three to four thousand female Olive Ridley turtles have been reported to have gone ashore to nest on the night of March 23rd, 1998, at Orissa's second major nesting site, a 2 km. long beach north of the mouth of the Rushikulya river.

Circular on eco-development committees for protected areas
In an interesting move which implicitly acknowledges the need to integrate people's livelihood concerns in the objectives of protected areas, Rajasthan has issued a circular authorising the creation of eco-development committees (EDCs) both inside and adjacent to protected areas. Circular No. F11/4/Van/96, dated 2 December, 1997, states in it preamble that the extensive wildlife conservation programme launched by the state government cannot succeed without people's active participation. In addition, it notes that the "World Bank funded" Eco-development Project also requires such participation.
The circular deals with the formation, composition, functioning, and rules of procedure of EDCs, which will be set up in every village or cluster of villages. Two members from every family, one woman and one man, will be members. The head will be chosen by the members, but the Secretary will be the area's Forester. A 6-member Executive Committee (EC) will be elected by the EDC, and the Sarpanch of the area, the Forester, and two NGO representatives, will be non-voting members of this EC. The EDC will be given requisite authorisation by the area's Deputy Conservator of Forests.
The EDC will be responsible for drawing up and monitoring micro-plans for eco-development, handling funds, maintaining relations with senior forest officers, jointly protecting wildlife and forests with forest staff, catching offenders and handing them over to the staff. The EDC will ensure that villagers contribute 25% of the micro-plan expenditure, in the form of monetary or labour or material inputs. Inputs in the form of reporting illegal activities will also be considered.
Villagers will be entitled to benefit-sharing from the PAs. EDCs which perform well according to the approved micro-plans, will be allowed to collect, distribute, and sell non-timber forest produce, fallen timber, grass, etc., from within the PAs. This will be in accordance with the conservation values of the area. These usufruct arrangements will not be considered rights of people. Contact: Secretary (Forests), Government of Rajasthan, Jaipur, Rajasthan.

Latest forest survey shows alarming decline
The country has lost nearly 5,500 sq km. of forest cover since the 1995 assessment, according to the 1997 assessment by the Forest Survey of India (FSI).
While Madhya Pradesh has lost nearly 4,000 sq km. of forest cover, Andhra Pradesh is not far behind at 3,822 sq km. Surprisingly, Maharashtra has shown a significant increase of around 2,300 sq km., with even Gujarat recording an addition of 258 sq km. to its green cover. Though the open forests (crown density between 10-40%) increased by 12,001 sq km. and mangroves by 294 sq km., dense forest depleted by 17,777 sq km. This may indicate that the efforts at regeneration of many degraded forest areas are bearing fruit, but that good standing forests are continuing to be depleted at an alarming rate.
The situation in the North East has improved slightly, losing 316 sq km. of forests as compared to 783 sq km. in the previous assessment, the report says.
Further analysis of the dynamics of the green cover reveals that, from the total dense forest area, about 19,456 sq km. had degraded to open forest, 392 sq km. to scrub and 3,129 sq km. to non-forest. On the other hand, from the total scrub and non-forest area, 1474 sq km. improved to dense and 7972 sq km. to open forest.

Natural calamities and pilferage threaten ecosystem of Sunderbans
The ecosystem of the world's largest mangrove forest, the Sunderbans in Bangladesh, is being ravaged both by natural calamities and pilferage of forest resources. Ecologists and local people point to rampant tree-felling, hunting, fishing, and unplanned construction of roads and embankments, increased salinity in rivers, canals and marshes, and natural calamities like cyclones.
Covering approximately 2,300 sq miles, the Sunderbans is almost half (44%) of the total reserve forests in the country. But protecting and managing this area is being hampered by shortage of manpower and infrastructure, as well as reported irregularities on part of some foresters. According to some forest officials, the existence of the famous Sundari tree has been endangered due to widespread pest attacks on the tree tops. No measures have so far been taken by the concerned authorities to prevent the disease.
In addition, some species of fish and fish fry are being destroyed every year during the period of shrimp fry collection, in violation of fisheries rules. Unbridled fishing with unauthorised gearnet is causing depletion of many species. Forest officials say that faunal species have dwindled to 123 from 334. Despite the ban on felling of all kinds of trees, since 1989, tree felling continues. Shrimp cultivation, too, is taking a major toll on the forest. Experts have suggested the introduction of eco-tourism for saving the Sunderbans.

Exploration activities in Kirthar National Park
Premier Oil, Pakistan, has stated that it will not carry out any exploration activity in the Kirthar National Park unless the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report is approved by the relevant Government authority. It pledged this in response to the apprehensions expressed by various environmental groups to the effect that exploration in the Dumbar Concession, north of Karachi, which includes protected areas such as Kirthar National Park and areas outside it, would endanger wildlife there. The licence to explore the area had been given in July 1997.
