OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Forests provide ecosystem services, such as timber, food, fuel, fodder, non-wood products and shelter – which are essential for human well-being.

Detailed explanation-2: -We get several things from the forests, such as wood for furniture, fuel, fodder, medicinal herbs, honey, lac, gum, fruits etc. Forests provide natural habitat to the wildlife, such as lions, tigers, elephants, monkeys, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through stabilization of soil, forests minimize erosion and reduce the impairment of water quality due to sedimentation. Woodlands protect water bodies and watercourses by trapping sediments and pollutants from other up-slope land uses and activities. Forests also help to maintain nutrient cycling in the soil.
