About The Author: Edward Percy Stebbing (1872–1960) was a pioneering English forester and entomologist, notably in India, where he focused on forest management and the impact of insects on forests. He was among the first to highlight the dangers of desertification, particularly warning of the Sahara's encroachment. His 1935 writings predicted man-made desert expansion, leading to a joint Anglo-French forestry mission to assess desertification in northern Nigeria and Niger. Stebbing authored several influential works, including *Injurious Insects of Indian Forests (1899), The Forests of India (1922), and The Forests of West Africa and the Sahara (1937), contributing significantly to forestry and ecological studies.
