A drought-like condition had been prevailing in several in forest areas in the state in the last three years. There were several incidents of wild animals like Indian gaurs, spotted deer and elephants straying into agricultural fields. Farmers used to raise the issue with district administrations.
Forest officials said the rain would help revive the green cover in the forests. "We have constructed a lot of check dams and percolation ponds in last three years but they were not filled. These rains are very useful to improve water sources in the forest areas and help wild animals," said a senior official at the Grizzled Squirrel Wildlife Sanctuary in Srivilliputhur.
Further, the rains are beneficial to carry out tree planting drives the department undertakes. Under Tamil Nadu Biodiversity and Greening Project (TNBGP) and Massive Tree Plantation drive, every division is assigned to plant almost two lakh trees this year."There is adequate moisture in the air and the earth is wet. Saplings can take root easily. We have already planted 40,000 saplings in the forests and empty lands and these rains are going to be very helpful," said Nihar Ranjan, divisional forest officer, Madurai.
