India Ranks Third in Global Forest Area Gains
India ranks third globally in forest area gains, adding 266,000 hectares annually from 2010 to 2020, as per the FAO report. Leading the rankings are China and Australia, with significant contributions also from Chile, Vietnam, Turkey, the USA, France, Italy, and Romania. India's success is attributed to innovative policies and restoration efforts. Globally, deforestation rates are declining, with notable reductions in Indonesia and Brazil.
