120 forest watchers to look after 11,000 hectares
One of the major achievements of Rs.219-crore Japan aided Attappady eco-restoration and tribal empowerment project will be lost if adequate forest watchers are not appointed to protect the 11,000 hectares afforested under the scheme.
The biggest ecological problem faced by the Attappady hills was the destruction of evergreen forest, which resulted in desertification of the area and marginalisation of its 30,000-strong tribal population.
To address the problem that could also threaten the nearby rainforests of the Silent Valley National Park, the Attappady Hill Area Development Society (AHADS) was started in 1996.
It took up afforestation as its major project and succeeded in regenerating forests in 11,000 hectares.
With the previous Left Democratic Front (LDF) government deciding not to extend the project, AHADS authorities retrenched 260 of the 380 watchers protecting the regenerated forests. Ninety per cent of them were local tribal youths who took it as a challenge and protected the new forest cover.
