In the present study, Chir pine was the dominant vegetation type covering major area of plantation inside
FRI campus followed by Sal, Teak, Cassia, Cupressus and mixed vegetation with intermittent built up areas.
Henceforth, vegetation type/land use mapping through visual interpretation may be a valuable tool in
monitoring, assessment and conservation planning of forests. Also, remote sensing and geosptial technologies
have been used for gathering the information on physical parameters of the wildlife habitats and geospatial
modeling for wildlife habitat evaluation as an integral component of forest ecosystems (Kushwaha & Roy,
2002).
