Remote sensing (RS) and GIS are vital tools for forest management, aiding in policy formulation, planning, and decision-making. They provide crucial information on forest resources, making management tasks like recording, updating, and monitoring more efficient. RS and GIS enable forest cover mapping, change detection, land use/cover change analysis, and forest type mapping across different spatial scales. They support forest protection efforts through forest fire detection, burnt area mapping, and forest health assessments. These technologies are also essential for biodiversity mapping, afforestation planning, wildlife habitat conservation, working plan preparation, boundary demarcation, encroachment mapping, harvest scheduling, and climate change studies. With advancements in technology, RS and GIS have become increasingly popular for managing forest resources. As foresters handle diverse objectives—such as determining allowable cuts, maintaining biodiversity, and conserving soil and water—reliable spatial data are essential for developing effective GIS-based forest management plans.
