    India's forest cover is estimated at 78.92 million hectares, which is 24.01% of India's total land area. While dense forest cover has increased by 10,098 square kilometers since 1997, this increase is largely due to plantation efforts rather than natural forest regrowth, as deforestation continues to reduce India's natural forests at staggering rates.

    Vanishing Forests

    The dimensions of deforestation in India are staggering. The forest and tree
    cover in the country is estimated at 78.92 million hectare, which is 24.01
    per cent of the total geographical area (dense forest 12.24 per cent; open
    forest 8.99 per cent; and mangrove 0.14 per cent). According to the State
    of Forest Report (2013), the dense forest cover has increased by
    10,098 sq km since 1997. However, this apparent increase in the
    forest cover is due to plantation by different agencies.
