The Tirap district of Arunachal Pradesh has been mapped using LANDSAT data and reconnaissance-level forest-type maps have been prepared using visual and computer-aided techniques. A comparative study of two interpretation techniques has been carried out. The results of the study reveal that satellite remote sensing can be used for broad forest-type mapping and for monitoring degradation processes in the north-eastern region of the country; in this region resources information is limited and. due to fast changes, the information collected by conventional methods becomes outdated.
