In earlier article we have came across the cause of habitat loss such as over exploitation, grazing, logging and through natural disaster like forest fire. Restoration is refers to gaining of suitable habitat more compatible like before of existing degraded habitat.
Before we think of habitat restoration, we must think about two root aspects of habitat i.e. vegetation and it’s linked part called soil. During the time of restoration it is necessary to avoid the reuse of habitat by any means wheather it may be logging, grazing and other intervention. Engagement of local people to the targeted area which is going to be restore should be done with proper planning. Priority should given to local people in scheme like replanting and reseeding. As we discussing about the importance of soil quality and vegetation, furthermore soil chemistry is very much vital i.e. soil moisture, it’s mineral content, presence of microorganism and it’s typology. After considering this we must choose proper vegetation which infact very much compatible for the area. In terms of this suitable vegetation, local people should provided with reseeding knowledge to increase the production of specific type of plants. Local people should aware about the protection method i.e. which plants is to given how much care and priority and what plant is for what purpose.
Though during the regaining of lost habitat, there been a sort of restrictions for local people and due to this restrictions local people will loose to getting necessary products like fuel, food, and fibre for thier use and for thier livestock too. So alternate provision must accomplish for compensation by giving benifit or access from nearby area.
