Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education in collaboration with International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development is implementing a project “REDD+ Himalayas: Developing and using experience in implementing REDD+ in the Himalayas” in the state of Mizoram. Identification of the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation is one of the activities under this project. This study will be helpful for preparing a strategy document for addressing the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. The study report on “Drivers of Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Mizoram” has highlighted various direct and indirect drivers responsible for forest degradation in the state of Mizoram. This report will also provide the reference and baseline information to estimate the effectiveness of a particular activity for addressing the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation.
