Abstract
Forests are vital indicators of environmental health and socioeconomic well-being of a nation. The recently released India State of Forest Report 2023 puts the forest cover of India at 21.76 per cent. This figure was 21.71 per cent in 2021. According to the National Forest Policy 1988, the national forest cover goal should be to have one-third of the total land area under forest or tree cover.
