Lantana is an invasive weed that has taken over vast area of the forest. The eco development committee which is organized by the forest department of the government by engaging the tribal people in the local area.
Tribal people clear the lantana from the forest and use stem of the plant to make furniture which is promoted here.
A recent study published in Global Ecology and Conservation reports that lantana occupies 154,000 sq.km forests (more than 40 percent by area) in India’s tiger range. Among forests, Shivalik Hills in the North, fragmented deciduous forests of Central India, and Southern western Ghats are worst hit by its invasion.
The models estimate that 300,000 sq.km forest area (an extra 44% of forest area) across India is threatened with lantana invasion – which means there is a high risk of biodiversity loss due to lantana invasions in these areas.
