Vegetation survey of the lower and upper Suketar watershed was conducted to determine the vegetation cover, forage production and grazing capacity in protected and unprotected areas. Total vegetation cover was much higher inside the enclosures than outside. Forage production and grazing capacity was 4-40 times higher in protected areas than the areas open to grazing. It can be concluded that 3-4 years of protection can Substantially increase the cover and forage yield and hence grazing capacity of the livestock.
