Biodiversity Conservation in Tripura

Tribal (Jamatia) Community awareness campaign of biodiversity conservation and sustainable management in natural bamboo forests or Non- Forest. The community awareness campaign of biodiversity conservation and sustainable management in bamboo forests was held in Mayung Twisa Kami, Marandi Moial, Udaipur, South Tripura on 20th February’2011. The awareness campaign was arranged for the “Baba Garia Mission an N.G.O” for raising the awareness of biodiversity conservation and advancing the uptake of bamboo management practices. The awareness campaign was divided into two parts: Village level plantation work and Hands-on practical awareness.

During the Village level plantation work component of the dissuasion, more than 160 persons Jamatia Community attended the awareness campaign on 20th February’2011. Social workers were mainly from the

. Expert trainer Mc. Samir Jamatia from National Mission Bamboo Applications provided training on Bamboo sustainable forestry practices. Mc. Jamatia has over 8 years of experience on bamboo based management, in Tripura and North Eastern India, home too much of Tripura industrial bamboo produce. The hands-on component was supported by the Tripura State Pollution Control Board under Ministry of Forest and Environment, Govt. of India. It was held in the documentary bamboo based in Tripura and North Eastern India.

Bamboo offers an important habitat to numerous animals, birds, insects and plants which benefit from its presence through provision of food, shade and shelter, nutrient recycling, water (aquifer) storage. As there are over 1500 species of bamboos, generalizations about their specific attributes and the services to biodiversity they provide is difficult, as is their description within ecosystems. For example, some monopodial bamboo species are the dominant species in their ecosystem; in parts of Southern China, India and South America these bamboo forests can cover thousands of hectares and host species which are indigenous to them. Other bamboos grow as only one of many species in an ecosystem and have a very different relationship with their surrounding environment
