Enhanced Environment Protection

Punjab Forest Department leverages cutting-edge GIS technology to safeguard our planet's ecosystems.

Methods of Enhanced Environment Protection

1. Mapping and Monitoring Forests

GIS enables precise forest mapping, deforestation monitoring, and ecosystem health assessment with regular updates to track changes in forest cover.

2. Conserving Biodiversity

GIS identifies endangered species habitats, tracks species distribution, and mitigates threats to protect biodiversity.

3. Fire Management

GIS maps fire-prone areas, predicts risks, plans control strategies, and supports rapid response during wildfire incidents.

4. Soil Erosion

GIS analyzes soil erosion patterns and watershed areas to guide sustainable land use and water conservation practices.

5. Illegal Activities Monitoring

GIS tools track illegal logging and poaching, supporting law enforcement efforts in remote forest areas.

6. Public Awareness and Education

GIS visualizations communicate environmental issues and the importance of forest conservation to the public and policymakers.

7. Monitoring Air and Water Quality

GIS overlays air and water quality data on maps to identify pollution sources and drive preventive actions.

8. Fire Management

GIS maps fire-prone areas, predicts risks, plans control strategies, and supports rapid response during wildfire incidents.
