Forestry is the science and practice of managing forests, tree plantations, and natural resources to ensure sustainability, conservation, and utilization of forest resources. It involves the study of forest ecosystems, tree species, wildlife, soil health, and environmental factors that affect forests. Forestry research aims to develop strategies for sustainable forest management, conservation of biodiversity, prevention of deforestation, and promotion of reforestation and afforestation. It also focuses on addressing challenges such as climate change, invasive species, and forest fires. Overall, forestry research plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and productivity of forests for future generations.
