Answers
Answer:
Forest cover required for a country to maintain proper ecological balance is 33% of its total area.
Explanation:
Indian Government has launched new updates in the National Forest Policy of India.
According to the policy, the forest cover is aimed to be 1/3 rd part of the total geographical area of the country.
One-third part of the country can be expressed as 33.33% of its total area.
Answer:
According to a research, 33% of a country's total land area should be covered with forests for proper ecological balance. If this figure is maintained, a country would be largely benefited through climate control, water cycle, monsoons, air pollution, improved quality of oxygen, low carbon dioxide, good use of resources and others. However, in India, only 20% of land area is covered with forests, and lots need to be done in this respect.
