Synopsis

This book focuses on the challenges in conservation, management and protection of forests in India as well as other countries, using recently developed technologies. Various topics are discussed including remote sensing, GIS, land use land cover, forest conservation techniques, social economics effects, fire forecasting models and the effect of fire on natural resources, among others. The book provides multi-disciplinary overviews for academicians, administrators, policymakers and professionals involved in the diverse aspects of sustainable forest development, planning and management, and forecasting and extinguishing forest fires.

The book helps readers better understand the development of forests by planning and management in India and other countries, with the following focuses:

- Forest area conservation in India and other countries

- Advanced techniques for planning and conservation of forest cover

- Forest conservation modeling using remote sensing and GIS techniques

- Forest fire forecasting models used in remote sensing and GIS environments
