Before cutting down a forest, a conservation plan is prepared to safeguard and revitalize endangered and near to extinct species of biodiversity and wildlife. This plan implements specific measures to protect the habitats of biodiversity and wildlife, safeguards their breeding programs and creates a safe environment for these species to multiply months or years before logging is started.
These measures include conducting Environmental Impact Assessments, identifying and protecting endangered species by conducting surveys, assessments and consultation with the experts as well as implementing sustainable logging practices, and promoting reforestation efforts to ensure the health and biodiversity of the ecosystem.
Moreover, the sustainable practices of logging include selective trees cutting instead of clearing the entire area of forest. It also includes adopting measures about minimizing impact on soil erosion and protecting the watershed.
However, the current logging in KPK neither follow these sustainable harvesting practices of trees nor follows a plan on protecting wildlife and biodiversity, instead the deforestation is started with the interim Government in the whole province at once and is continued till this date on the name of Scientific management of forest.
An enquiry is needed though to conduct Assessment studies about the loss of biodiversity, wildlife, soil erosion, watershed damages and about the ecosystem as a whole for enacting future policy and Forest Protection Act.
