gujarat
Gujarat has only 11.04% of its geographical area declared as forest, which is much below the national average. Forest and tree cover is in the extent of 11.74 % (7.48 % forest cover and 4.26% tree cover outside forest-TOF) of its geographical area. The hills, which are higher in elevation, receive more rainfall than the low lying plains. The forests of Gujarat are therefore mainly found in the hills of Saurashtra and the other hilly parts of the state. The hills of Kutch are the exception, as these hills receive little rainfall. A little less than 20 lakh hectares of land is under forest cover. The southern part of Gujarat is rich in deciduous vegetation, such as teak.
