From the preface: "Forest protection is one of the most important functions performed by foresters not only in India, but also in other parts of the world. Today, forests are adversely affected by climatic, human and other biological agencies. The subject matter of forest protection covers protective measures against these agencies. It includes both preventive and remedial measures."
