Forestry
Depending on their field of specialization, foresters can work either in offices, laboratories or outdoors in the wild. They perform an advisory role in governmental and non-governmental organizations to encourage management and maintenance of the earth's forest reserves. They also work as industrial and agricultural consultants in various industries that utilise forest resources. Foresters work as financial consultants in forestry organisations. On the manufacturing side, they assist in the manufacture of timber, paper and other wood based products. Prevention of forest fires, wasteland development, social forestry, eco-tourism etc are other areas that fall within the ambit of forestry specialists. Research in the protection and regeneration of forests is also an important task performed by foresters.
Job Market:
Apart from jobs in the Ministry of Environment and Forests and in the forestry departments of local governments, the experts can get into government sponsored projects in forestry and environment. They can also find employment in executive positions in timber and plywood companies and in organisations like the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO). Scientists can find employment in Research labs. The education sector is also a potential source of employment. Training Programmed: The starting point for a career in forestry is at the undergraduate level. Those who have passed +2/equivalent with Physics, Chemistry and Biology can apply for the 4 year B.Sc Forestry course. Further, the Masters level offers specialization in subjects like Forest Management, Commercial Forestry, Forest Economics, Wood Science and Technology, Wildlife Science etc. Forestry Management is taught at the Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM), Bhopal (See Management). Indian Forest Service is another option for those who have graduated in Forestry. Those who wish to do Ph.D in Forestry can do so at the recognised centres.
