| Abstract: The study of the role of forestry and primary education in sustainable environmental protection was performed to indicate the need to examine the involvement of primary school pupils in environmental protection in Birnin-gwari Local Government. It was noticed that there are significant difference (p< 0.05) in the relationship between pupils' participation and their benefit directly or indirectly in environmental protection. According to results obtained in this study, it has been observed that majority of the respondents and the pupils have ideas of forestry (75%), with a few practicing it (13.33%). This was explained to be as a result of parents' refusal because of the general belief that forestry is not lucrative and would rather involve their children in agricultural practice with respondents showing intriguing willingness (81.67%) to practice forestry in order to save the future generation. They also have a clear-cut misunderstanding that forestry could not be practiced by the school pupil at such age. The study also has shown that educating a child in forestry will rather help more in environmental protection than reduce poverty, while, protection from diseases among other things aforementioned. |
