ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Writing this document gave an opportunity to the author to scan through several reference books, reports and papers and in the process enriched his knowledge. Therefore, this assignment by FAO and Ministry of Environment and Forests is gratefully acknowledged.

The author has the pleasure to acknowledge his indebtedness and gratitude to Sri. C.S. Vedant IFS, Sri. Kishore Rao IFS, Dr. P. Ahmed IFS, all Dy.I.G. Forests and Sri. R.K. Srivastava IFS, A.I.G. Forests for their willing help and assistance in formulating and drafting various sections of the text without which it would not have been possible to prepare this paper in a very short period in spite of their very busy schedule in the ministry. This is in view of the fact that the foresters in the Ministry of Environment and Forests are overworked much beyond their share which is hardly recognised. Thanks are also due to many others who have contributed their innovative and generous ideas for formulating the text.

The neat and exclusive computers job performed by Manoj Kumar and Geeta Nagvanshi at Bobby Computers, Katwaria Sarai, New Delhi, is gratefully acknowledged. Thanks are due to my wife and son for their unstinted support given during this work and also helping in writing.
