Hands-on range management training for IFS officers. (Special issue on Forestry Education and Training.)

摘要

Forestry Education and Training for new entrants to the Indian Forest Service consists of the ex-situ 'institutional training' and the in-situ 'hands-on field training'. The paper discusses the critical role the in-situ 'range training' plays in capacity building of the officers to manage forests, and the need to strengthen it for the benefit of forest and wildlife conservation in India.
