Sketching future forestry education for Bangladesh in COVID 19 pandemic and post pandemic situation
British colonial approach is still in core of forest management of South East Asia (SEA). However, recent policies of management of forest are incorporating social aspects and considering diverse dimensions of human with various international commitments by conventions and treaties, lead the paradigm shift in forest management of SEA. This study examined century long forestry practices, forest policies, conventions and treaties on forestry, recent job markets, corporate mechanisms and blending knowledge protocols and found a demand existed to refurbish the current curricula of forestry education of SEA.

Moreover, knowledge on global change, biodiversity conservation, forest-people conflict management, landscape level restoration rather forest restoration, technological interventions in forest resource monitoring and assessment, invasive species management, carbon management and trading, panel wood and wood processing were found worth for sustainable forest management. Inclusion of stated new knowledge arena for forest science may facilitate readiness of future graduates for sustainable forest management. Due to COVID19 pandemic and post pandemic on line platforms and learning systems for developing nations are crucial and need integrated developed courses for all, may widen the knowledge platform for future. This study also discussed with a view from a developing nation and put forward a bridge on knowledge sharing between developed and developing nations.
