Question:
Which of the following is correct in respect of definition of forests for the purpose of land use in India?
Options:
actual forest cover is different from area classified as forest.
area classified as forest is the area which the Government has identified and demarcated for forest growth.
there may be an increase in area classified as forest without any increase in the actual forest cover
All of the above
Correct Answer:
All of the above
Explanation:
Forests : It is important to note that area under actual forest cover is different from area classified as forest. The latter is the area which the Government has identified and demarcated for forest growth. The land revenue records are consistent with the latter definition. Thus, there may be an increase in this category without any increase in the actual forest cover.
