|June 05, 2025
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu exhorted the youth of the state to voluntarily join the forest conservation drive.
During a programme held in Dehra, Kangra district on Wednesday, he urged the youth to take an active part in the movement to preserve forests and emphasized striking a balance between development and environmental protection to ensure a secure, prosperous and green Himachal for future generations.
He said that forest conservation was not only essential for climate protection, but also directly linked to the increase in catchment areas of water bodies, prevention of soil erosion, biodiversity protection and means of livelihood.
Sukhu said that nearly the forest cover of the state has been assessed to be 15443 Sq Kms, which is around 28 percent of the total geographical area and the recorded forest area that is legally classified is spread over an area of 37948 sq km accounting for 68.16 percent of the geographical area which grants the state a unique ecological identity.
