33% of the total area should be under forests.
Explanation:
- Forests are the lungs of our planet Earth. They not only supply Oxygen but also replenish the used oxygen.
- In the Vedic period a portion of the forest area was strictly preserved where humans were not allowed to intrude.
- This was known as 'Aranya' the land inhabited by spirits and Gods. The myth was created to prevent man from cutting trees.
- Forests maintain the ecological balance of the land. They absorb all the carbon dioxide of the air and through the process of photosynthesis convert it into oxygen.
- As a result they act as the oxygen supplier of the Earth. They reduce global warming and maintain the ecological balance of the Earth.
- Currently Brazil has been burning down the extremely valuable Amazon rain forests. This is an immense cause of alarm.
- India too is running short of her required forest cover due to massive deforestation. The natural jungles are being replaced by concrete jungles.
