All these six species have been brought under ten-year felling program and these can now only be axed with explicit permission from the forest department. However, under the new regulations, felling of a maximum of five trees in a year for domestic purposes will be allowed”, he said. The Chief Minister said that there would be a total ban on export of timber and fuel wood of any above out of the state, a measure aimed at curbing illegal trade and preserving the region’s valuable resources.

“This ban is imposed keeping in mind constitutes a critical step in addressing the issue of illegal deforestation and for preservations of the biodiversity of the state. A revised list of permissible tree species has been notified, allowing only thirteen species to be felled with prior intimation to the Range officer, while felling of the other species will also require forest clearances.
