Forestry in British India

B. Ribbentrop’s “Forestry in British India” examines the development and impact of forestry practices during British colonial rule. The work highlights the introduction of systematic forest management, including the establishment of forest reserves and regulation of timber resources. Ribbentrop discusses the environmental and socio-economic effects of these practices on Indian forests and local communities. His study provides a critical perspective on how colonial policies shaped forestry and conservation efforts in India, influencing both ecological balance and regional livelihoods.
