“…Being a low profile category of protected status and continuous human settlements, the present study area was selected, in which the natural disturbances along with anthropogenic activities have shaped the present floral and faunal diversity and their composition (Kala 2009;Dwivedi et al 2009). …”

“…For centuries, these forest dwellers have been using the surrounding forest resources for various purposes. They collect plant species for food, shelter and medicine and also use to graze their livestock in the forest areas (Kala, 2009). Besides, hunting of wildlife for multiple uses is a common practice in the tribal communities and other forest dwellers of Chhattisgarh.…”

The advent of modern forces and the changes in socioeconomic patterns of forest dwellers have increased the pressures on the forests. In order to mitigate such pressures and also to protect the forests and wildlife the model of protected areas networks has shifted and enhanced such pressures in the unprotected natural forests due to several reasons. Being a low profile category of protected status and continuous human settlements, the present study highlights the case of dry deciduous forests of Sarguja district of Chhattisgarh state of India. The major objectives of this study were to quantify the status of forests and wildlife and also to determine the extent of anthropogenic disturbances faced by the dry deciduous forests of central India. Transect and silent drive count methods were used for sampling wildlife and quadrat method was used for sampling vegetation. Besides, the local uses of various forest produces were also studied in view of understanding the people dependency on forests. The forest vegetation, in the study area, was pre-dominated by Shorea robusta, which had Madhuca indica, Diospyrus melanoxylon andBuchnania lanzan as the major companion species. The forest had either the high girth class mature tree species or the saplings. The low vegetation cover and density were due to the high anthropogenic pressures mainly in the form of heavy livestock grazing and collection of ethnobotanically important species. The study though reveals that the area is not rich in wildlife and the forest is fragmented, the area still supports some important species, which include many rare and endangered plants and animals. The findings of this study have been discussed in view of the management and conservation of the forest and wildlife in the dry deciduous forests.

Buchanania lanzan Spreng. (Chironji) is a socio-economically important underutilized fruit and life support species of tribal populations of north, west and central India. A survey and germplasm collection programme undertaken in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh observed that B. lanzan is found as natural wild in the forest, marginal lands and occasionally in farmer's fields. A total of 72 diverse accessions of this important tree species were collected from the diversity-rich areas of India having wide range of variation in agro-morphological traits among the accessions. This species has high socio-economic value providing livelihood to tribal population of these areas and has high potential as commercial horticulture species. Fresh ripen fruits and extracted seed kernels have several nutritional and medicinal properties. Seed kernel and extracted kernel oil is used for the preparation of several Indian dishes. Traditional indigenous knowledge revealed immense importance of almost all parts of plant like roots, leaves, fruits, seeds and gum for various medicinal applications like cure for blood disorder, fever, ulcers, burning sensation of body, diarrhoea, dysentery, asthma, snakebite, etc. Due to direct harvesting of economically important parts of tree from natural habitat, genetic resources of B. lanzan are facing severe threat of extinction and need immediate conservation efforts.
