Letter of Motivation

My interest on Forestry was sparked when I entered into the realm of the environment through

my study at the Institute of Forestry and Botany, in Pakistan. Hence, from my academic,

professional and moral obligation, I want to strengthen my knowledge in the field of forestry so

that I can contribute myself in forest resources management and broadly in climate resilient

ecosystem development. Moreover, I always feel impulsive to do something for my people, for

my nation and broadly for my country. To attain my goal, I have to make myself more efficient

in this field by working with outstanding advisors, willing colleagues and broad academic

resources along with my determination. Furthermore, the education in forestry in Pakistan is

still in the innovator stage. Therefore, it is very important to study in developed countries like

China to gather new advanced knowledge and ideas for my country. Besides, I always have

beloved a dream to study in top universities in abroad, especially in China to achieve world

standard education and PhD. degree in International Forestry at China’s well developed

Universities which is the perfect place to improve my understanding and knowledge in forestry

and forest sciences. In addition, the China education system has a strong international

reputation for excellence both in teaching and research which promotes creativity and

independent thinking.

I accomplished my BS (Forestry) from SBB University sheringal Dir Upper Pakistan. And MPhil.

(Plant Biodiversity and Conservation) from University of Peshawar, Pakistan with excellent

Grade, which were Major courses: Forestry, Ecology, Plant Physiology, Biodiversity and

Conservation, Environmental Management and especially Farm Forestry. My most evident

advantage in research is the opportunity to submit a thesis in the final semester of my M.Phil.

Studies. It was on "Ecological and Socioeconomic Studies of Farm Forestry Biodiversity

at Tehsil Timergara, Pakistan ". In addition, over the entire course of my education, I also

made time for extra-curricular activities that helped me build my interpersonal and leadership

skills. I was also the part of Water management department for one year under Prime Minister
Scheme as internee where my duties were to organize different programs in connection with

capacity development and awareness building on sanitation, waste management, tree

plantation and environmental conservation program. I hope these experiences alongside my

academic and professional achievements will assist me to undertake the course to earn an in-

depth and up to date knowledge in the field of forest management and Farm Forestry.

The PhD. Study abroad will definitely provide me better scope of becoming a dedicated

specialist in Forestry. It will enhance my knowledge, analytical ability and comparative

understanding of global experiences with local applications on forestry and forest sciences. As

a representative of grassroots people, I feel it necessary to work in forest resources

management because the indigenous peoples of Pakistan are partially or fully dependent on

forests and especially Farm forestry products not only for their cultures but also for their

livelihoods. In addition, there is a lack of sincere forestry expertise among the indigenous

communities. So, external consultants in this field are hired or even if local experts are

employed, their capability barely reaches up to the mark. They cannot feel the beat of the

forests and forest dependent people. Hence, they apply conventional knowledge, does not

really work due to the differences in dimensions and complexities. So, the results become below

satisfactory level.

I, as a member of a local community, have always nurtured a dream to become a leading expert

on forest resources management, particularly in the development of forest health and forest

dependent people's livelihood of my country. Therefore, after completing this degree I will

engage in environment and Biodiversity Conservation related development work and I will use

my collected knowledge for better co-management practice to improve forest ecosystem and

forest dependent people's livelihood
