About the Book

: This book delves into the rich landscapes of South India's forests and gardens. It underscores the increasing significance of tropical forest conservation, driven by the recognition that previous notions justifying forest clearing for agriculture, in light of population growth and advancing civilization, had led to extensive ecological damage across the Indian empire. The formation of a committee by the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1850 marked a pivotal moment. Their investigation exposed the failure of forests to benefit society or the government, revealing the need to strike a balance between public and private interests in forest management. The quest for a unified forest code encompassing all of India emerged as a pressing necessity. This volume meticulously compiles records from the Madras Government Archives, offering invaluable practical insights to newcomers in India, illuminating the diverse facets of wood resources, their attributes, and sustainable utilization. About The Author: Hugh Cleghorn (1820-1895) was a Scottish physician, botanist, forester, and landowner. He is often credited as the pioneer of scientific forestry in India. Cleghorn served as the first Conservator of Forests for the Madras Presidency and twice as Inspector General of Forests for India. After returning to Scotland in 1868, he contributed to the establishment of forestry lectureships at the University of St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh. Additionally, a plant genus, Cleghornia, was named in his honor by Robert Wight. Cleghorn played a vital role in organizing and promoting forest conservation in India during a time of increasing demand for wood resources due to railway and steam engine development. His work also highlighted the impact of forests on climate and water resources.
