In-depth | India's Forest Cover | 18 January, 2025

Sansad Television is the Parliamentary channel of India. It was created in 2021 by merging Lok Sabha Television and Rajya Sabha Television. The India State of Forest Report (ISFR) 2023 highlights positive growth in India’s forest cover, increasing from 698,712 km² in 2013 to 715,343 km² in 2023. Fire incidents have also decreased, with 203,544 fire hotspots recorded in 2023-24, down from 223,333 in 2021-22. In line with India's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) target, the country has achieved a carbon sink of 30.43 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent. This represents an additional 2.29 billion tonnes of carbon sink in Forest and Tree Cover since 2005, nearing the target of 2.5 to 3.0 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2030. These advancements in forest cover and the reduction in fire incidents highlight India's progress toward sustainable environmental conservation. The Forest Survey of India (FSI) has been key in improving forest monitoring through better forest cover mapping, the creation of an upgraded Forest Fire Alert System, and the completion of the first five-year cycle of the National Forest Inventory, which has provided important data on forest growth and carbon stocks. Additionally, the digitization of forest boundaries in 25 States and UTs has significantly improved forest cover assessments. These initiatives, coupled with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change's efforts to expand forest and tree cover and conserve mangroves and wetlands, have greatly contributed to the development of forest cover.
