A '''forest division''' is a term used to signify an area containing one or more (usually) demarcated and (usually) protected or resource-managed forests, for administrative purposes.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Barton |first=Gregory A. |last2=Bennett |first2=Brett M. |date=July 2008 |title=Environmental Conservation and Deforestation in British India 1855–1947: A Reinterpretation |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/itinerario/article/abs/environmental-conservation-and-deforestation-in-british-india-18551947-a-reinterpretation/3DE0A8BCBB55E998A1772E8CB2AFA598 |journal=Itinerario |language=en |volume=32 |issue=2 |pages=83–104 |doi=10.1017/S016511530000200X |issn=2041-2827}}</ref> The term was in use in [[British India]], and hence [[India]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Bangladesh]] use this term for administrative purposes.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Guha |first=Ramachandra |date=1983 |title=Forestry in British and Post-British India: A Historical Analysis |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/4372653 |journal=Economic and Political Weekly |volume=18 |issue=44 |pages=1882–1896 |issn=0012-9976}}</ref><br />

==In India==<br />
In India, the combined forests in a [[forest circle]] are completely divided into non-overlapping forest divisions for the purpose of administration and coordination, in an analogous form of dividing the political area of a district into ''subdivision''s. Alignment of the divisions to political boundaries are not necessary, as forests often overlap political boundaries - but one division cannot span more than one state. It generally comprises one or more districts.<br />
<br />
A forest division is broken up into one or more [[forest range]]s.<br />
<br />
Each division controls the [[protected areas of India|protected areas]] and managed resources under its jurisdiction, and is presided over by a Deputy Conservator of Forests, appointed from the [[Indian Forest Service]].<br />
