Abstract: The forest type classification Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary was done using 1:15,000 black and white photographs by Visual Interpretation techniques. Microlevel stratification of forest types were achieved. West coast tropical evergreen forest and Hilltop evergreen forest were separately delineated in the wet evergreen forest. The phonological stages of forest were taken into account for achieving vegetation type classification
