Increasing the area under forest is important for several reasons, including enhancing biodiversity, mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, providing habitat for wildlife, protecting watersheds, and promoting sustainable resource management. By expanding forested areas, we can support ecosystem services that benefit both the environment and human populations.
The union territory with the maximum area under forest cover in India is the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The area of Jylgyndy Forest Reserve is approximately 27,620 hectares.
The Furnya Forest Park covers an area of approximately 500 hectares.
The area of Edumanom Forest Reserve is approximately 370 square kilometers.
A forest is a large area covered chiefly with trees and undergrowth. Forests are vital for maintaining ecological balance, providing habitats for a diverse range of species, and serving as carbon sinks. They are also important for human well-being, offering resources such as wood, food, and medicinal plants.
22.70 percent is under forest
I believe that the state of Himachal Pradesh has the maximum area under forest cover. The minimum area under forest cover is in the state of Punjab. I am really not sure what is meant by the "moderate forest area".
Chattishgarh is the state covered by Forest( most of its area is covered with forest)
Increasing the area under forest is important because forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and providing ecosystem services. Forests help mitigate climate change, maintain wildlife habitats, and support local communities dependent on forest resources. Protecting and expanding forested areas can help improve overall ecological health and resilience.
