Arabari
Arabari or Arabari Forest Range, is the name of a forest range in the West Midnapore district of West Bengal, India. Conservation efforts were begun in 1972 by the forest officer, Ajit Kumar Banerjee, a silviculturist, in an area of 1,272 ha by involving local people living around the forest boundary through a voluntary participation process. This process of greening the forest was brought about by setting up Joint Forest Management committees consisting of the local villagers and as result of their efforts a forest which was initially almost worthless became an economic boon to the villagers; the value of the forest area multiplied several times. Under this scheme the villagers actively involved with the conservation efforts in the forest derived the benefits of employment in silviculture and harvesting, sharing 25% of the profits from the forest produce and to collect firewood and fodder from the forest area on a nominal fee. This scheme is still practiced in Arabari.
==Geography==
Arabari is bordered with the Dalma range of East Singhbhum, Jharkhand from where elephants come and forage in the forest and also attack people of the village. The dominant vegetation in the forest is of the hardwood sal (''Shorea robusta''), which is a commercially remunerative crop. The forest is categorized as part of the Upper Gangetic Plains moist deciduous forests. It is in the former Midnapore Forest Division in the former Midnapore district, now known as West Midnapore district, near Midnapore town. The core area of the forest is away from Midnapore town, 〔 and to the west of Calcutta.
