Answer:

Explanation:

India is endowed with forest resources rich in diverse flora and fauna. The forest types vary from Tropical Rain Forest in north-eastern India. Western Gnats and Andaman and Nicobar Islands to Desert and Thorn Forests in Gujarat and Rajasthan, Rich mangrove Forests in West Bengal, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Andaman and Nicobar Islands to Dry Alpine Forests in Western Himalayas. India has approximately 7% of total mangrove forests of the world.

Forest resources of the country can be classified in a number of ways, such as legal classification, functional classification, according to vegetation (forest) types and according density etc.. A brief description of such classification is given as under.

Legal Classification - Recorded Forests are those areas which are legally notified as forests areas and are entered as such in government records (in forest and/or revenue records). Almost entire forest resources in the country are government owned and a negligible forest area is in private hands. Total Recorded Forest Area in the country is 765,210 sq. km, which is 23.28% of total geographical area of the country. Recorded Forests can be broadly classified into three categories Reserved Forests (416,516 sq. km). Protected Forests (223,309 sq. km) and Unclassed Forests (125,385 sq. km). Table I gives state wise details recorded forests. Forest consolidation began along with forest administration by legally classifying forest into different categories. A large part of forest today was notified before independence of India in 1947 and some were notified later on. Whatever classified forest exists today is the result of that thoughtful action otherwise most of it would have been fragmented and lost its character as happened to areas outside. No doubt forest administration began in colonial period but the main emphasis remains unchanged even now since it was conceptualised with a vision.
