“A sustainable forest ecosystem must be our aim of forest management, one in which all flora and fauna, including human beings, can live in perfect and balanced harmony with the whole of nature.”
In today’s fast-changing world, forest management needs to gear up to respond to the present-day needs with the priority of modern scientific management over conventional classic management, participatory management over forest enforcement, conservation forestry over production forestry, private tree enterprise and liberalization over government control, and professional management over general management in Tamil Nadu, India.
Forest Management herein has introduced the best principle of sustainably managing the forest by strictly avoiding all ecologically harmful interventions, and instead, facilitate the natural course of action along with protection in Tamil Nadu. Tree growing and use in private lands need to be brought outside the purview of Tamil Nadu Forest Act 1882 for it to become a massive enterprise. A massive brown revolution based on trees is a definite possibility in this country, on the lines of green and white revolution, provided tree management is taken outside the clutches of government control.
