Forests the biodiversity they contain and the ecological function they maintain are a heritage of mankind. The vital role of forests in protecting fragile ecosystems watersheds and freshwater reservoirs and as store houses of rich biodiversity should be recognized. Forests contain not only woody species and wild animals but also a wealth of other species of actual or potentially socio economic importance at the global national and local levels including wild relatives of important crop species. Biodiversity is the variety and variability of plant animal and micro organism in a ecosystem. Biodiversity in wild and domesticated forms is the source for most of humanity food medicine clothing and housing most of the cultural diversity and most of the intellectual and spiritual inspirations. In other words it is the very basis of man's being. Currently there is severe and widespread loss of biodiversity because of a variety of factors and therefore its conservation is of utmost importance. Conservation and development are partners in the process of environmental protection. To maintain and increase the ecological biological climatic socio cultural and economic contributions of forests their conservation and management are urgently required. Biological diversity (biodiversity) is also to be preserved to achieve sustainable development. The book is a sincere effort of the authors to provide compiled information on the subject matter of forest environment and diversity.
