               Forests and wildlife





























                     Forests are biodiversity hotspots.
                     Biodiversity is  the  variability  among  living  organisms  from  all  sources,
                       including terrestrial, marine, and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological
                       complexes  of  which  they  are  part;  this  includes  diversity  within  species,
                       between species, and of ecosystems.
                     However,  the  range  of  different  life  forms  (bacteria,  fungi,  ferns,  flowering
                       plants, nematodes, insects, birds, reptiles and so on) found, is also important.
                     One of the main aims of conservation is to try and preserve the biodiversity
                       we have inherited.
                     Experiments and field studies suggest that loss of diversity may lead to loss of
                       ecological stability.

               Stakeholders
               They  are  the  persons  and  the  parties  having  a  binding  interest  in  an  asset.
               The stakeholders are:
                   1.  Local People: who live around the forests and depend on forest products.
                   2.  The forest department: a government body which looks after the forest.
                   3.  The  Industrialists:  they  take  raw  materials  from  the  forests  for  their
                       industries.
