Scientific
forestry started in India during early last century
when Capt. Watson was appointed as the first ever
conservator of forests by the them Madras Government.
The appointment of Sir Dietrich Brandis as India's
first Inspector General of Forests in 1864 helped
to give a definite direction to our foestry. We have
come a long way since the days when forests were seen
merely as a source of revenue. Today their indispensable
role in the survival of the human race is well known.
Over the last 150 years there has been a major transformation
in the forestry perspective of India. This book encompasses
the entrie gambit of forestry in India, right from
the country's forest regions to forest legislation,
protection, management, policy, silviculture of tree,
wildlife to its economics and trade. The main aim
of this work is to prepare a ready reference book
on India's Forests, Forestry and Wildlife.
