Paper Title
An Evaluation of Anthropogenic Impacts Using Remote Sensing Approach on Forest Coverage of Pualreng Wildlife Sanctuary, Mizoram, India
Abstract
As a result of anthropogenic factors and pressures, tropical forests have degraded rapidly over the past century. The focus of this research aims to investigate the alteration of forest vegetation at a glance being profiled from 2006-2018 in Pualreng Wildlife Sanctuary. Regional consequences of land use and land cover change on combined human - physiological interference were assessed. Spatial distribution of forest cover was mapped using IRS-P6 LISS III satellite images. Periodic monitoring using multi-temporal satellite observations assisted in the estimation of change in forest and non-forest areas which provide critical information for protected areas management and monitoring plans.
