FOREST AND WILD LIFE

Objectives of conservation of the wild life: • 1.To maintain essential ecological processes and lifesupporting systems. • 2.To preserve the diversity of species or the range of genetic material of world’s organisms. • 3.To ensure a continuous use of species, in fact ecosystems, that support rural communities and urban industries.

WILD LIFE • The term wild life is generally held to include large well known ferocious animal such as lion, tiger, elephants, deer, rhinoceros, whale and crocodiles.

This operation is called improvement cutting. As the timber trees mature, they should be cut off for use. This is called selective cutting. It is batter to remove the less vigorous trees should be replaced by new ones quickly. Forest floor littered with fallen trees and broken branches should be cleared.
