Former student of the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management Mr. Bitrus Samuel Gabakau has made us proud by receiving the Best Oral Presenter Award at the International Conference on the Global Impact of Sustainable Agriculture and Veterinary Innovation, organized by Sanskaram University, Jhajjar, Haryana, India.

Bitrus, who is currently on scholarship, is pursuing his Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in Silviculture and Agroforestry at Sanskaram University. His outstanding performance at this prestigious international conference reflects his dedication, academic excellence, and commitment to advancing sustainable agricultural practices.

This remarkable achievement is a testament to the quality of training from our department and serves as an inspiration to our students. We celebrate his success and wish him even greater accomplishments in his academic and professional journey.

Staff and students of the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management actively participated in an engaging bird-watching exercise organised by the Gashua Bird Club.

The activity provided a unique opportunity to observe diverse bird species in their natural habitats, while enhancing practical knowledge of wildlife conservation and biodiversity monitoring. It also fostered collaboration, environmental awareness, and a deeper appreciation for nature among participants.

This initiative highlights the Department’s commitment to experiential learning, research, and the promotion of sustainable environmental practices.

In strong support of the Green Initiative championed by the Vice-Chancellor of Federal University Gashua, 200 and 300-level students of the Department took a bold step toward environmental sustainability through a tree planting exercise.
The students planted Black currant (Ribes nigrum) trees at the New Lecture Hall of the Faculty of Agriculture, contributing to campus greening and biodiversity enhancement.
This hands on activity forms part of the practical component of the courses FWM 205/FOW 301 (Principles of Silviculture), demonstrating the Department’s commitment to blending academic excellence with real-world environmental action.
