Shashi is also advisor and mentor to the Network of Indian Environment Professionals http://www.envindia.com and is taking keen interest in our new initiative Green College Network http://www.greencollegenetwork.com . He also taught me Forest Resource Economics when I was a MBA student at Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal, India back during 1989-91 . So, it is a special cause for cheer !! Here is the detail on the award:

In 1987 the Patron of the Commonwealth Forestry Association, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, approved the Queen’s Award for Forestry, to recognise outstanding contributions to forestry. The purpose of the Award, is both to recognise the achievements and support the future work of an outstanding mid-career forester. The recipient is the individual who the Selection Committee considers combines exceptional contributions to forestry with an innovative approach to his or her work and the Selection Committee unanimously considered that you were the candidate most closely fulfilling these criteria.

Shashi is a Professor of Forest Resource Economics at the Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto. Before joining University of Toronto, he was a member of Indian Forest Service, India, and he also worked as a faculty member at the Indian Institute of Forest Management, Bhopal, India. He specializes in forest resource economics and forest management systems with emphasis on extending the boundaries of forest economics beyond neo-classical paradigm. He has published more than 80 refereed papers.
