Abstract

ABSTRACT To estimate the population pressure of the local people on the Scrub Forests in District Jhelum, a survey was conducted interviewing 144 households. Considering two elements, extraction of firewood and grazing of livestock, as major factors affecting viability of forests, they were studied with a few basic socio-economic variables and their ultimate effect on adjoining forests accounted. It has been concluded that majority of the people around the Scrub Forests depend almost entirely on state forests to meet their daily basic needs of firewood and grazing of livestock.
