The global concern for preserving the Biodiversity for immediate as well as future use has gained momentum after the historic Rio Convention in 1972. India as one of the signatories of this Convention has made great strides for the conservation of Biodiversity. Essentially, any sustainable use and wise management of Biodiversity requires assessments of diversity, legal enactments and division of work at National and State levels. The present paper focuses the attention on these issues and suggests an approach to find the solution.

The ecological balance is being upset due to the rapid rise of human population and their increased demands for more utilisation of natural resources. The existing natural forests are protecting our living environment. Therefore, to save the ecosystem, it is necessary to pay a special attention to protect, preserve and maintain the natural forests.- Random Thoughts on Social Forestry

The Tropical Evergreen Forests of Karnataka are ecologically very sensitive to disturbance. Heavy openings will create large gaps and will soon be invaded by species like Macaranga peltata and Leea sambucina. The forests are situated on steep slopes in heavy rainfall zone. Therefore, selection system has been adopted in about 38% of the area. The grasslands on the ridges and slopes of the Western Ghats and forests on steep and inaccessible areas are put under protection working circle which covers an area of about 51%. However, in grasslands, afforestation with species like - Acacia auriculiformis, Crevillea robusta, Bambusa vulgaris and Bixa orellana have been successful. About 2% of the area were tended by way of "canopy lifting" to induce regeneration of more valuable species, but is now given up due to the complexity of this forest ecosystem. The management of Tropical Rain Forests requires complete knowledge about the growth of species, their interaction between species and between soil and plants. Therefore, the establishment of a Tropical Rain Forest Research Institute has been suggested.- Leucaena leucocephala Provenances in Philippinesvarietal Mix-up Galore

Traditional Forestry subjects in the University of Edinburgh have been either replaced or regrouped to keep pace with the changing circumstances. The present Department of Forestry and Natural Resources now offers a degree in Ecological Sciences with Honours in Forestry, Resources Management, Ecology, Wild Life or Fisheries Management. This article traces in brief, the history of the Department of Forestry at the University of Edinburgh from its inception to the present day bringing out the facilities available at present.- Mavinakurve Bamboo Park in Goa
