The total forest and tree cover of the country is 80.73 million hectare which is 56 percent of the geographical area of the country.

Compared to the assessment of 2017, there is an increase of 5,188 sq. km (0.65%)in the total forest and tree cover of the country (Increase in the forest cover – 3,976 sq.km and that in tree cover – 1,212 sq. km.

Range increase in forest cover has been observed in open forest followed by very dense forest and moderately dense forest.

Top 5 states having highest forest cover area-wise:

Madhya Pradesh

Arunachal Pradesh

Chhattisgarh

Odisha

Maharashtra

Top 5 states having highest forest cover as a percentage of total geographical area:

Mizoram (85.41%)
