Abstract

Pakistan is the world fifth most populous country with more than 230 million population which is growing at a growth rate of 1.7% (World Population Review, 2022). This growing population requires huge quantity of timber to meet the demands for building construction, furniture, panel and ply wood, and pulp and paper on one hand and fuelwood to meet the energy demands of domestic, commercial and industrial sectors on the other hand. In the face of these demands the country’s forest resources are deficient and primarily managed for sustenance of the crucial ecosystem services like watershed protection, biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, environmental amelioration, recreation and tourism. Pakistan has only 5% forest area against the international standard of 20-25% which is required to meet economic and environmental demands of a country (MoCC, 2020).
