FORESTRY IN RELATION TO WILD LIFE CONSERVATION 



Introduction 



The increasing use of forests for recreation purposes is 



creating a widespread and active interest among a large number of 



persons in the conservation of wild life itself and also of 



that 

 forests. For it is coming to be seen/only with the aid of the 



forest can wild life he made to fulfill its proper function in 



supplying the needs of mankind. 



There are three broad uses recognized for the forests; namely; 

 supply of forest products, protection against erosion and regula- 

 tion of streamflow, and recreation. A combination of these three 

 uses is of course often possible. 



The determination of the use to which a particular forest 



should be assigned, considering all forests as a national resource 



and, therefore, demanding conservative use, depends on the ability 



that 

 of that forest to supply in/use the greatest good to the greatest 



number for the longest time. 



in the determination of use, it must be understood that the 

 forest la a complex community of many forms of plant and animal 

 life which may ranJc as resources in themselves, or by their rela- 

 tionships constitute a combination of resources, or which may 

 exercise an Important influence on other resources. It is further 

 evident that the relationships which exist in xhis society may be 

 upset by the disturbance of any one factor.
