Question

what were the changes made in 1988-90 for protection of forest and india​

Answer 1

Answer:

India’s forests are currently governed by the National Forest Policy of 1988, an update to which has been in the offing for nearly four years now. Key policies regarding forests and forest management are either missing, delayed or left open-ended as of date. For example, at present, there is no clear definition of forest that is accepted nationally and states are left to determine their definition of forests.

There is no central policy on inviolate forest – forests that are to be left untouched. In terms of forest management, there are regular attempts to involve the private sector. But this has experts concerned about the tribal community and the forest dwellers who could be negatively impacted. One of the constant criticisms of the central government over the years is its speedy pace of giving clearances to projects requiring forest land diversion while it drags its feet on recognising the rights of tribal people and forest dwellers over forests.
