Institute of Forest Sciences

The major focus of Forestry, Range and Wildlife Management is to ensure sustainable flow of wood and non-wood forest products and service while at the same time ensuring protection and maintenance of biodiversity for the benefit of the present and future generations through active participation of all stake holders. We aim to enhance the quantitative and qualitative contributions of the sector towards the nation's socio-economic development in a sustainable manner. We undertake significant, innovative research, and promote an interdisciplinary environment that attracts world-class scholars and graduate students. The mission of the Institute of Forestry Science is to provide science-based research, instruction, and extension that supports forest, range and wildlife conservation and management in an ecologically, economically, and socially sustainable fashion. Graduates got job opportunity in Ministry of Climate Change, Provincial Forest and Wildlife Departments as well as in different national and international NGOs working on conservation of flora and fauna in Pakistan. The Department has a mandate to carry out both teaching and research to address the problems of land degradation, habitat destruction with special emphasis on problems of rangeland degradation, deforestation and proper management of natural resources of arid and semi-arid regions of the country.
