Abstract
THE annual report of the Forest Department of X the Protectorate and Colony of Kenya up to December 31, 1932 (Govt. Printer, Nairobi, 1933) reflects the present position of most of the forest departments of the Protectorates and Colonies under the Colonial Office. The report opens with the sentence, “The world-wide economic depression continued to affect the Colony and to an even more serious extent than in the previous year, with the result that revenue continued to decrease and further economies became essential”. It is of course unavoidable that the heads of the forest departments should concern themselves primarily, even at the expense of professional practice, with the revenue receipts from the forests under their charge. For it is apparent that certain of the governors and their advisers are only able to envisage the forests and a forest policy from the point of view of the monetary return that can be extracted from the forest estate.
