Answers
Answer:
Forests provide renewable raw material;
and energy, maintain biological diversity,
mitigate climate change, protect land and
water resources, provide recreation facilities,
improve air quality and help alleviate poverty.
At the same time forests are affected by fire,
grazing, pest and invasive species and are also
the primary targets for agricultural and urban
expansion.
The forest wealth in our country is
extremely diverse as a result of the huge
variation in the topography of the country. Due
to the impact of biotic pressure on our forests,
many forest areas spread across the country has
been depleted and degraded which is a serious
concern.
The role of India’s forests in the national
economy and in ecology was further emphasized
in the 1988 National Forest Policy, which
focussed on ensuring environmental stability,
restoring the ecological balance, and preserving
the remaining forests.
