GIS LAB: DEVELOPMENT & WORKING PLAN CIRCLE
PUNJAB FOREST DEPARTMENT LAHORE
PREFACE The total area of Punjab is 50.95 million acres. The recorded forests area is 1.66 million acres (excluding Linear Plantations). Which constitutes 3.26 % of the geographic area of the Punjab. Major forest types occurring in the province are Irrigated Plantation, Riverain Forest, Scrub Forest, Range Lands and Coniferous Forest. Irrigated Plantations comprises 25.6%, Riverain Forests 10.6%, Scrub Forest 40.7%, Range lands 12.2%,Desert 2.3%, Coniferous forests 6.8% and Mix Forest (Coniferous/Scrub) 1.8% of total forest area of Punjab. The preparation of Forest catalogue of Punjab Forest Department has been carried out for the first time since the creation of Pakistan. The information provided in this Forest Atlas gives a fair picture of locations of Forest resources with respect to Forest Types at Forest Division, Circle, Zonal and Punjab levels with areas. The locations of forests are marked based on the data/maps provided by field formations. For achieving more accuracy and exact location of each forest there is a need of taking exact coordinates and field truthing which is a time consuming process but it will be carried out in future. In this regard training has already been imparted to the field formations. The information may not be wholesome but I do believe that it will certainly provide good deal of reliable and vital information to those making endeavors in planning, policy making, better management and related research activities pertaining to the Department. The Forest Atlas provides a foundation to future build up the existing data bank for which a continuous exercise shall have to be undertaken hereafter. I express my sincere gratitude to the Administrative Department particularly to Capt ® Javed Akbar, Secretary Government of the Punjab, Forestry, Wildlife & Fisheries Department,Shahid Rashid Awan, Deputy Secretary (Planning), Muhammad Irshad, Chief Conservator of Forest, PM&E, Lahore for their guidance. I owe special thanks to Muhammad Abdul Basit, Conservator of Forest, Mr. Firoz-ud-Din Ahmad, DFO-II and Muhammad Bashir, RFO Development & Working Plan, Lahore and Mr. Muhammad Faisal Massod , GIS Manager who throughout the preparation of this Catalogue rendered useful inputs. I gratefully acknowledge the services of GIS Lab staff Mr.Ikram Yousaf, Amir Shehzad, Drafts Man, Mr.Waqas Mahmood, Computer Operator for data processing and Catalogue Designing. The services rendered devotedly and selflessly by the field formations is highly appreciated. I also appreciate the services of Mr. Salman Naib Qasid who worked day and night with the team. A beginning has been made. We welcome comments, suggestion and correction for improving format and contents.
