Personally it is a matter of great pride and encouragement. But more important it is a public acknowledgement by a renowned academic institution that the world's forest situation needs our urgent attention. To me it makes a lot of sense that you have. We tend to think of forests as primarily a source of wood. But they have many other functions as well.
Forests are the Earth's largest terrestrial ecosystem.
They form the largest habitat of plants and animals on land. They are crucial for the supply of water and indeed for the Earth's climate. They sustain a body of genetic information that defines the survival of various forms of life. So, of course forests have everything to do with your areas of agriculture and environmental related sciences. You who are graduating from this great university today have chosen a profession that make you the new custodians of how the earth's land are being divided between different uses, how natural resources are being managed and how food is being produced.
