Abstract

This paper encapsulates the findings of carbon stock assessment of compensatory afforestation work done in Balod District of Chhattisgarh. Under the State CAMPA (Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority) scheme, the afforestation project aims to enhance the local environment, create employment opportunities for the villagers of Armarikala, and provide fodder for nearby farmers' cattle. This initiative not only address the ecological impact of the power transmission line construction but also align with sustainable development goals by providing socio-economic benefits to the local community. The study aimed to quantify the biomass and carbon sequestration potential of diverse tree species in the Compensatory Afforestation Plantation Work in Balod District of Chhattisgarh. The carbon stock data highlights the significance of different tree species, with Terminalia arjuna emerging as a major contributor, sequestering 3,814.2 kg followed by Dalbergia sissoo with 2616.7 kg of carbon in the surveyed area. The carbon stock assessment in Balod District of Chhattisgarh demonstrates the significant ecological and socio-economic benefits of the compensatory afforestation project under the State CAMPA scheme. The findings underscore the project's alignment with sustainable development goals, enhancing both environmental health and local livelihoods.
