Students will also study the knowledge involved in problem-solving in conducting natural environment conservation research.

Overview:
We will discuss the study of human dimensions of forest resource management; and the technique regarding a balance between environmental burden and productivity in forest resource production. We will also discuss the latest knowledge regarding methods of using forest resources, research regarding their impact on the surrounding environment, and its application.
