Degraded have been restored through forest operations such as  Assisted Natural Regeneration(ANR) and Artificial Regeneration (AR). Since most of the forests in the state belong to communities or individuals, such forest operations will be conducted by communities with support from Forest and Environment Department (FED) or the Forest Departments of the Autonomous District Councils (ADC).

 BASELINE SURVEY

To grasp the starting point of the Project in terms of physical and economic conditions, and the status of the target area, a baseline survey would be conducted. The types of data to be collected and the method for collection to be used need to be decided in accordance with the operation and effect indicators of the Project. The baseline survey should be designed and conducted in such a manner that the data captured in it can be used for future assessment of the Project.
