Explanation:
The total forest cover (TFC) of India is 712,249 square kilometres (sq km) according to the biennial State of India’s forest Report 2019 (SoFR 2019) released on December 30, 2019, by Union Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Prakash Javadekar.
India has set a target of bringing 33 per cent of its geographical area under forest cover. The TFC of India in 2019 is 21.67 per cent of the total geographical area (TGA) of the country as against 21.54 per cent (of TGA) in 2017.
In 2011, the TFC in India was 6,92,027 sq km. Hence, even though the TFC increased by 20,222 sq km or three per cent since 2011, there are some concerns over the growth pattern of our forests this decade
