Question

Find out about state of forests in lndia and write a brief report on it

Answer 1

Here are some positive points to know from the forest report:

India follows a policy of keeping one-third of the country's total land area under forest and tree cover

The forest cover of India has increased by 21.34 percent in the last two years

Very dense forests in India cover 2.61 percent of the total forest area, moderately dense forests account for 9.59 percent while open forests stand at 9.14 percent

Among all the states and Union Territories, Mizoram has the highest forest cover with 88.93 percent of the total area, followed by Lakshadweep

However, northeastern states have experienced a decline in forest cover except Manipur

The Andaman and Nicobar Islands have gained around 1,930 square kilometre of very dense forests, Uttar Pradesh has added 572 square kilometre of very dense forest cover and Tamil Nadu has reported a net gain of 100 square kilometre of very dense forest cover

The mangrove cover in India has increased by 112 square kilometre following acute conservation in the Sundarbans and Bhitarkanika forest.

Here are some downsides of the forest report:

Although the total forest cover has seen an increase, around 2,510 square kilometre of very dense and mid-dense forests have been wiped out since 2013

States of Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Meghalaya, Kerala, Arunachal Pradesh, Karnataka and Telangana have suffered huge loss of forest cover

Around 2,254 square kilometre of mid-dense forest cover has turned into non-forest lands in the past two years.
