PKOTECTION OF FOEESTS AGAINST MAN. 



THE damage which may be caused to forests by our fellow- 

 creatures may be classified as follows : 



Injuries to forest boundaries. 



Irregularities in utilising forest produce. 



Theft of forest produce and damage to forests, or forest 

 offences. 



Excesses by holders of forest servitudes. 



It is the duty of the forester to maintain the boundaries of 

 the forest entrusted to his care, to counteract irregularities in 

 utilising it, to prevent theft of forest produce and damage 

 to the forest, and also excesses in the exercise of forest 

 servitudes.
