To increase forest/tree cover to the extent of 5 million hectares (mha) and improve quality of forest/tree cover on another 5 mha of forest/non-forest lands; Separate sub-targets exists for different forest types and ecosystems (eg. Wetland, grassland, dense forest etc.). For instance, GIM aims at:
Improvement in quality of forest cover and ecosystem services of forests /non-forests, including moderately dense, open forests, degraded grassland and wetlands (5 m ha). The sub-targets are:
Moderately dense forest cover, but showing degradation: 1.5 m ha
Eco-restoration of degraded open forests: 3 m ha
Restoration of Grasslands: 0.4 m ha
Restoration of Wetlands: 0.10 m ha
Eco-restoration/afforestation of scrub, shifting cultivation areas, cold deserts, mangroves, ravines and abandoned mining areas (1.8 m ha) with separate sub –targets for each one of those.
Improvement in forest and tree cover in urban/peri-urban lands (0.20 m ha)
Improvement in forest and tree cover on marginal agricultural lands/fallows and other non-forest lands under agro-forestry / social forestry (3 m ha)
To improve/enhance eco-system services like carbon sequestration and storage (in forests and other ecosystems), hydrological services and biodiversity; along with provisioning services like fuel, fodder, and timber and non-timber forest produces (Minor forest produces or MFPs) etc which are expected to result from the treatment of 10 m ha;
To increase forest based livelihood income for about 3 million households in and around these forest areas; and
Enhanced annual CO2 sequestration by 50 to 60 million tonnes in the year 2020.
