It It is is not logical logical to to consider forestry consider forestry extension extension apart apart from from the the general general pattern pattern ofof agricultural agricultural extension oror rural development in an area. Agricul t ural changes in Agricultural developing countries, over developing countries, the past over the past decades, decades, have have tended tended toto favour f avour large large scale mechanised commercial production mechanised commercial production which which has required less has required less manpower manpower and has accelerated the has accelerated movement of the movement of population population to to urban centre s often urban centres often ill- i 11- prepared to receive them them or or offer them suitable offer them suitable employment. This was paralleled by by the the preoccupation preoccupation of of many many forestry forestry authorities authorities with with large-scale large- scale quick gr owing industrial quick growing industrial tree tree species species plantations plantations inin the 1960 ' s and the 1960's and early early 1970's. There is aa growing There is growing recognition, recognition, however, however, of of the the need need toto give gi ve proper proper attention attention toto the the remaining remaining rural rural population, population , who who are are predominantly predominantly peasant peas ant farmers, and to farmers, to use use appropriate appropriate skills skills in in agriculture, agriculture, forestry forestry and and related r elated activities improve their activities to improve their general general welfare welfare and and the the quality quality of of their their lives. l ives. Too often in Too in the the past past aa narrow narrow viewview has has been taken of of this process. pr ocess. been regarded Extension has been regarded asas aa means means ofof passing passing down down to to farmers farme rs techniques t e chniques which, it was believed, would be was believed, be beneficial beneficial to to them without without taking taking into into account sufficiently sufficiently thethe particular particular social social oror environmental environmental conditions conditions of of the the area. InIn particular, particular, tootoo often, often , the the indigenous indigenous skills, skills, social social structure st r ucture and and local knowledge detailed local knowledge of of the people have been ignored people have ignored in trying tryi ng to trans fer new transfer new skills skills oror techniques techniques to to them. them.

This diversity of terms terms has has not not ne ce ssa rily clarified necessarily c larified the the issues. issues. The important point, The important point, however however,, is not the is not the particular term used used but but the acceptance by those those concerned concerned of an attitude att itude of approach to to thethe matter. matter.

The emphasis is not on is not on the accomplishment of the accomplishment specific national or or commercial commercial goals goals but but onon the the recognition recognition by by the the people of of the part the part forestry forestry can playplay in in conjunction conjunction with other other rural rural activities activities in the environment, maintaining the environment, tmproving improving living living standards standards and meeting meeting specific needs for forest needs for forest products. products. Where the term "community" Where the "community" is is used it should should be be interpreted interpreted in its widest possible possible sense sense as thethe population population of a village, village, or an an area, area, oror aa section section of of a population, population, or group of people or any group people having having some some common interest, as as appropriate appropriate to to the the context. context. should not be Extension should be regarded regarded simply simply as as an an efficient efficient delivery delivery system system to "get things done" but as a catalyst to promote the establishment of to "get things done" but as a catalyst to promote the establishment of an an indigenous system for for accomplishing accomplishing widely widely accepted accepted aims aims which, which, in in time, time, will will also able to also be able to define define and and secure secure the the delivery delivery of of any any external external assistance assistance required. required. 1.2 1.2 Purpose of forestry extension The purpose of The main purpose of forestry forestry extension extension is to people to to help people to examine examine problems problems which which are are affecting affecting their their lives lives an
