Every year, nearly 1500 graduates in B Sc (Forestry) pass out from different colleges/universities across India, who are well trained in the sustainable management and utilization of forest resources in the country. However, the challenge is the unavailability of provisions for their direct recruitment in the field of forestry, specially in the State and Central Forest Services, when they are getting education which is equivalent to the curricula of training courses of the Indian Forest Service officers. When the nation is deeply devoted to improving its forest cover in order to fulfil the commitment given to UNFCCC of reducing the CO2 emission and enhancing carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation along with extracting more from available renewable resources, proper management and sustainable utilization of forest resources is inevitable. So, the potential of these forestry graduates can be well utilized by enabling some structural reforms in the existing recruitment policy of the State and Central Forest Services by providing them job reservation and/or preference in forest and allied sectors, which will also justify the professional education and training provided to them.Keywords

The human societies living in the Himalayas are traditionally known for their symbiotic relationship with their surrounding ecosystem. With changing time and climatic conditions, this relationship is also transforming. One of the crucial examples of this transformation is the interaction between human and wild animals, that a few of the Himalayan villages have moved from ‘co-sustenance’ to ‘conflict’. The agribased villages situated adjoining the forest area are experiencing recurrent incidences of crop raiding by wild pigs. These raidings have emerged out as a noticeable threat to the existing agrobiodiversity of the area. Hence, plausible solutions to keep away the crop raiders with special emphasis on the wild pigs are the need of the hour.Keywords
