Abstract

The article discusses the culture of forestry in India. It offers a historical background of the establishment of the Indian Forest Service (IFS) in 1864 as a guide and model for forestry movement. It suggests that the distinctions between preservation and conservation do not accurately describe the unique culture of Indian foresters. Meanwhile, it demonstrates that the country's cultural history undermine the claim that forestry in the area lacked the higher motive of ecological considerations.
