Working for SAARC Forestry Centre :

IBRAD in collaboration and support of SAARC forestry centre and countries are involved in development of “Role of Forests in the Ecosystem Services Provision’’ and in this regard a consultative workshop was also organized on 28th & 29th December, 2010 at IBRAD campus, Kolkata.Each member of SAARC Country has recognized the urgency of improving Ecosystem Services and has taken some initiative in their own country. Now all of them realize that the understanding of the complexity of the Ecosystem, beyond the political boundary, in a holistic manner is imperative before they go to frame any policy or technical device. This workshop provided a forum to learn & share their views, situation, challenges, opportunity and area of cooperation among SAARC members. This workshop also provided opportunity to develop plan of action to improve the Ecosystem Services through management of Forest Mosaic Landscape.
