Answer 2

Answer:

Forestry in India is a significant rural industry and a major environmental resource. India is one of the ten most forest-rich countries of the world. Together, India and these other 9 countries account for 67 percent of total forest area of the world.[1] India's forest cover grew at 0.20% annually over 1990–2000,[2] and has grown at the rate of 0.7% per year over 2000–2010,[2] after decades where forest degradation was a matter of serious concern
