Thank you very much for having a broad discussion on the issues which are need of the current period. I feel monitoring of forests and allied activities a need of hours. Though we are already late nevertheless right action may balance. Therefore, I can suggest that awareness creation about the utility/importance of the forest must be foremost agenda of policy at local as well as at global level. It is because people must understand why forest are important and how one individual can contribute to conserve and protect the forest resources. Survival and existence are really becoming so difficult due to ever growing population resulting higher demand for forest products and posing threat for their degradation.
By monitoring forest will give an idea of balance and gap in demand and supply of forest goods and services. Therefore, it has to be monitored and brought to the notice to the public.
