1 Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences University of Chittagong The Institute was established in 1976 as Institute of Forestry with the help of Ministry of Agriculture and Forests, and Bangladesh Forest Department, under University of Chittagong, Bangladesh. Later, it was renamed as Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences in The Institute started providing in-service training (Master of Forestry) to newly recruited ACF in , regular 4-year B.Sc. (Hons.) in Forestry in , M.Sc. in Forestry in 1996, B.Sc. (Hons.) in Environmental Science in and M.Sc. in Environmental Science in The vision of the Institute is to generate skilled professionals in the field of natural resources, especially Forestry, Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences. Graduates of the Institute should address the local, national and international issues in the field of forestry and environmental sciences. The mission of the Institute is: To provide and promote facilities for under-graduate and postgraduate education and research in Forestry and Environmental Sciences, To provide teaching, training and guidance for degree of B.
