The latest India State of Forest Report 2023 (ISFR 2023) has sent mixed signals regarding the country's green cover.

While on one hand, it demonstrates some progress in expanding forest and tree cover, on the other, it highlights areas where challenges continue to persist.

Amidst all this, one thing is clear—India's forest management story is anything but straightforward. The report reveals that forests and trees now cover 25.17 per cent of India's geographical area, with a total area of 8,27,357 square kilometres. Compared to the last survey in 2021, there has been an increase of 1,445.81 square kilometres in forest and tree cover. This includes a fair degree of rise in forest cover by 156.41 square kilometres and a more significant gain in tree cover outside traditional forest areas.
