The plain land sal forests, located in the districts of Dhaka, Gazipur, Tangail, Mymensingh, Sherpur, Thakurgaon, and Dinajpur, have become poor in quality because of a number of reasons including human interferences, tenure issues, encroachment, and repeated incidences of fire and grazing. A comprehensive appropriate intervention has been taken up to restore these Sal stands with appropriate local species through collaborative forest management system.
