Answer 2

$\mathfrak{\huge{\green{\underline{\underline{Answer :}}}}}$

In India 6, 77,088 square kilometer of land is under forest cover. The figure was 30 percent at the beginning of 20th century.

As per World Bank estimates the forest cover in India was 22 percent in the year 2000 and 23 percent in 2010.

The present forest cover is quite small as compared to optimum of 33 percent according to National Forest Policy, 1988.

Since the 1952 NFP (National Forest Policy in India), there has been an advocacy for 33% forest cover with a 60% forest cover in mountainous and hilly regions.
