Forestry/ Wildlife : Introduction
Forestry is an important and interesting subject of study. Forests form
part of the vital natural resources of a country. From time immemorial
forest resources have been a source of human sustenance. They are home
to the most amazing herbs, medicinal compounds, natural cosmetics etc.
Forestry and Wild Life go together since forests serve as home for wildlife.
Forest wealth also contributes significantly to the economy of the
country. Specially trained personnel are therefore needed to maintain
and regenerate the forest cover, forest wealth and resources. This involves
the services of forestry specialists, forestry management experts and
forest officers.
Forestry involves protection of forests and farming of trees to ensure
contributing timber supply. Forester takes care of forest resources by
protecting them from fire, pests, disease, encroachment and indiscriminate
felling of trees.
