Even in forest-rich nations such as Malaysia, the challenges faced by forestry education are growing. The declining student enrolment and interests in the field must be stopped if the field is to remain viable. The roles played by the forest have shifted from purely commercial product exploitation to environmental and social-centric. In this context, forestry education will need to be restructured to impart the necessary knowledge and skills to the foresters to enable them to perform up to expectations in the field.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-Napoca}, author={RATNASINGAM, Jegatheswaran and IORAS, Florin and VACALIE, Claudia Cristina and WENMING, Lu}, year={2013}, month={May}, pages={12–20} }
