The Indian Forest Records

The Indian Forest Records by R. S. Hole is a compilation of scientific and administrative reports focused on forestry in British India. The work documents forest management practices, ecological observations, conservation efforts, and the economic importance of timber and other forest resources. Aimed at officials and researchers, it reflects the British colonial interest in systematically exploiting and managing natural resources. Hole's contributions helped shape early forest policy and sustainable practices, making the series significant for environmental history and colonial administration studies.
