Introduction
Systematic administration of Forestry in India dates back to 300 BC during the reign of Chandragupta Maurya. Scientific and organized management of the Forests in the country was started during the British Rule with appointment of Dr. Dietrich Brandis, as the first Inspector General of Forests in 1864. Forests were classified into Reserve and Protected forests and were primarily managed for commercial harvest of timber and other forest produce. During last quarter of 20thCentury conservation became the major thrust area, in the 1980s attention was focused on Social Forestry and Joint Forest Management has become the mainstay of forest management since 1990s. After the turn of the Century forests have been recognized as the major carbon sink and the focus has shifted to landscape based conservation strategy for maximizing carbon sequestration.
Forests in the Country are quite diverse and are broadly classified in to 16 major Forest types; from Tropical wet evergreen forests to Himalayan dry temperate forests, from littoral and swamp forests to Tropical thorny forests. India has also been very successful in Wildlife conservation and has been recognized as a mega biodiversity country. Many of the wetlands of the country are inside Forests.
