摘要

The Kameng and Sonitpur Elephant Reserves in north-eastern India are comprised of transborder subtropical evergreen to tropical moist deciduous forests of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. The reserves are facing deforestation and habitat loss in recent years. This paper investigates the loss of habitat in these reserves using temporal satellite imagery during 1994, 1999 and 2002. The on-screen visual interpretation of the three-period imagery revealed alarming and continuous habitat loss from 1994 to 2002. The overall habitat loss was found to be 344 km2 between 1994 and 2002. The average annual rate of deforestation worked out to be 1.38%, which is much higher than the national average. The rate of deforestation was highest between 1999 and 2002. Results indicate that at this rate much of the forests in the study area would be depleted within the next few years. It also showed that moist deciduous forests, which possess highest biodiversity in Assam, are facing maximum deforestation. High deforestation has resulted in high man-elephant conflicts. Rehabilitation of affected forests in the larger interest of elephants and biodiversity is suggested.
