Aims and objectives
Pakistan has meager forest resources and presently due to the continued deforestation and forest degradation, the negative environmental impacts on forestry sectors demanding urgent attention for this sector for better Ecosystem management. Realizing the importance & location of the Kohsar University Murree, the university has put the mountain forestry resource conservation and management at the top of its agenda to play its regional as well as national role in Forestry sector. This role could be played efficiently through advance degree programs including BS and Master degree program in Forestry. This might be flagship program of KUM later on. Initially undergraduate degree in Forestry will provide highest learning opportunities to budding scientists local as well as from across the country to become professional foresters to serve the nation. Being located in natural mountainous forests the BS Forestry Program of KUM is mandated to impart forestry education with main focus on mountain forestry. The indigenous knowledge and practices will also be considered for practical forestry operations. This will help the graduates in their professional lives later on.
