As the Faculty gets transformed to a College of Forestry, Tourism and Nature Conservation (FTNC), the current Department evolves as well to reflect contemporary issues in the fields of forestry, natural resources and the environment. Appreciating the fact that forest economics is still a very vital component of sustainable forest management, the Department retains this discipline as it evolves. However, realizing the need to open up and becoming more inclusive in terms of scope and coverage, the new Department takes on board the need to apply economic principles in making decisions in all types of natural resources as well as on environmental issues and hence the proposed new name of the Department.
