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.
