Sandalwood (Santalum album) naturally occurs extensively in Southern States of India such as Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. It had export market from the period of Tipu Sultan or earlier for European and Mid-Eastern Countries and was therefore declared as "Royal Tree" in Karnataka. Special chapter exists in Karnataka Forest Act 1963 and Karnataka Forest Rules 1969, though nothing is mentioned in Indian Forest Act. Sandalwood is a Government property where ever it is found in Karnataka and therefore there are strict rules and regulations for its protection in and harvest from private lands; for its movement, trade and use. These are a deterrent for its existence and growth. People destroy its regeneration if found in their holdings. The declaration of bonus upto 75% of its value has not also encouraged its growing due to its inherent procedures and delays. There is a need for, rethinking and liberalising the existing rules, regulations and restrictions. The payment of bonus also needs simplification.- Moist Forests of South India

Moist Forests of South India includes several forest types described by Champion and Seth in 1962. Many of them are climatic climax and a few are edaphic climax forest types. Due to heavy biotic pressure on these dwindling forests, the typical forest types described by them may not be available or seen in their pristine condition. The an.nual increase in human population is about 5% as against the National average of around 2.2%. The livestock population will reach about 500 million by 2000 AD. Forest fires, excessive grazing, uncontrolled removal of fuel wood and diversion of forest lands for nonforestry purposes are some of the factors responsible for the degradation of forests. Increasing the present protected areas, enrichment plantations, improved fodder development, intensive fire protection etc. are some of the measures needed by increasing the investments to at least 5% of the total budget.- Commercial Productivity of Kanara Forests, Karnataka

Forests are valuable for their direct and indirect benefits. Though it is very difficult to quantify the indirect benefits, the direct benefits can be assessed in a more realistic way. An attempt is made to assess the commercial productivity and the money value of Natural forests of Kanara in Karnataka from the fellings done in Yellapur Forest Division. Various thinnings in teak plantations yield revenue much more than the initial investment. Dead and fallen wood are also available in forests which could be salvaged to obtain revenue and to meet the local demands. It is estimated that an ha of natural forests would yeild a revenue of about Rs. 2 lakh per ha whereas 'from deadwood extraction alone a revenue of about Rs. 1000 per ha is available. The natural forests have a remarkable potential for recovery when left to itself. A forest when allowed to regenerate naturally for 20 years has yielded a revenue of Rs, 10,535 00 per ha.- Golden Jubilee Workshop For 1965-67 - IFC Batch at Indira Gandhi National Forest Academy (IGNFA), Dehradun (29th - 30th October, 2015)
