&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to a DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is &amp;lsquo;missing&amp;rsquo; from the government&amp;rsquo;s assessment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The India State of Forest Report 2021 (ISFR 2021), released recently, has a huge hole in its estimations, according to a new analysis done by Down To Earth. The analysis, which appears as the cover story in the February 16 issue of the magazine, says India is &amp;ldquo;missing&amp;rdquo; almost 26 million hectares of its forests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;DTE Editor Sunita Narain, who has done the analysis said:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;This is the difference between what is &amp;lsquo;recorded&amp;rsquo; as forest area, and the actual forest cover that exists on that recorded area. The recorded forest area, as per the ISFR 2021, is 77.53 million ha (hectare). But the forest cover on these lands is said to be 51.66 million ha. This means as much as 34 per cent of the area classified as forests &amp;mdash; 25.87 million ha &amp;mdash; is missing in the assessment! The India State of Forest Report 2021 does not explain what is happening to this huge tract of forest land &amp;mdash; equal in size to the state of Uttar Pradesh.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is &amp;lsquo;missing&amp;rsquo; from the government&amp;rsquo;s assessment. Madhya Pradesh, for instance, has &amp;lsquo;lost&amp;rsquo; nearly three million ha.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Narain added: &amp;ldquo;This is the real story of forest loss in our country &amp;mdash; and it should worry us enormously.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The story behind the &amp;ldquo;missing&amp;rdquo; forests&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India can be said to have two kinds of forests &amp;mdash; those that are inside the officially recorded forest area, and those that are outside it. The 2013 forest survey report had estimated India&amp;rsquo;s total forest cover as 70 million ha &amp;mdash; but it did not distinguish if this forest was inside or outside the recorded forest area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the 2015 State of Forest Report, the area inside the forest got reduced to 51 million ha and the rest &amp;mdash; 19-20 million ha &amp;mdash; was said to be forest cover outside recorded forest area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to a DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is &amp;lsquo;missing&amp;rsquo; from the government&amp;rsquo;s assessment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The India State of Forest Report 2021 (ISFR 2021), released recently, has a huge hole in its estimations, according to a new analysis done by Down To Earth. The analysis, which appears as the cover story in the February 16 issue of the magazine, says India is &amp;ldquo;missing&amp;rdquo; almost 26 million hectares of its forests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;DTE Editor Sunita Narain, who has done the analysis said:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;This is the difference between what is &amp;lsquo;recorded&amp;rsquo; as forest area, and the actual forest cover that exists on that recorded area. The recorded forest area, as per the ISFR 2021, is 77.53 million ha (hectare). But the forest cover on these lands is said to be 51.66 million ha. This means as much as 34 per cent of the area classified as forests &amp;mdash; 25.87 million ha &amp;mdash; is missing in the assessment! The India State of Forest Report 2021 does not explain what is happening to this huge tract of forest land &amp;mdash; equal in size to the state of Uttar Pradesh.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is &amp;lsquo;missing&amp;rsquo; from the government&amp;rsquo;s assessment. Madhya Pradesh, for instance, has &amp;lsquo;lost&amp;rsquo; nearly three million ha.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Narain added: &amp;ldquo;This is the real story of forest loss in our country &amp;mdash; and it should worry us enormously.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The story behind the &amp;ldquo;missing&amp;rdquo; forests&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India can be said to have two kinds of forests &amp;mdash; those that are inside the officially recorded forest area, and those that are outside it. The 2013 forest survey report had estimated India&amp;rsquo;s total forest cover as 70 million ha &amp;mdash; but it did not distinguish if this forest was inside or outside the recorded forest area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the 2015 State of Forest Report, the area inside the forest got reduced to 51 million ha and the rest &amp;mdash; 19-20 million ha &amp;mdash; was said to be forest cover outside recorded forest area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to a DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is &amp;lsquo;missing&amp;rsquo; from the government&amp;rsquo;s assessment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The India State of Forest Report 2021 (ISFR 2021), released recently, has a huge hole in its estimations, according to a new analysis done by Down To Earth. The analysis, which appears as the cover story in the February 16 issue of the magazine, says India is &amp;ldquo;missing&amp;rdquo; almost 26 million hectares of its forests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;DTE Editor Sunita Narain, who has done the analysis said:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;This is the difference between what is &amp;lsquo;recorded&amp;rsquo; as forest area, and the actual forest cover that exists on that recorded area. The recorded forest area, as per the ISFR 2021, is 77.53 million ha (hectare). But the forest cover on these lands is said to be 51.66 million ha. This means as much as 34 per cent of the area classified as forests &amp;mdash; 25.87 million ha &amp;mdash; is missing in the assessment! The India State of Forest Report 2021 does not explain what is happening to this huge tract of forest land &amp;mdash; equal in size to the state of Uttar Pradesh.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is &amp;lsquo;missing&amp;rsquo; from the government&amp;rsquo;s assessment. Madhya Pradesh, for instance, has &amp;lsquo;lost&amp;rsquo; nearly three million ha.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Narain added: &amp;ldquo;This is the real story of forest loss in our country &amp;mdash; and it should worry us enormously.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The story behind the &amp;ldquo;missing&amp;rdquo; forests&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India can be said to have two kinds of forests &amp;mdash; those that are inside the officially recorded forest area, and those that are outside it. The 2013 forest survey report had estimated India&amp;rsquo;s total forest cover as 70 million ha &amp;mdash; but it did not distinguish if this forest was inside or outside the recorded forest area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the 2015 State of Forest Report, the area inside the forest got reduced to 51 million ha and the rest &amp;mdash; 19-20 million ha &amp;mdash; was said to be forest cover outside recorded forest area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;According to a DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is &amp;lsquo;missing&amp;rsquo; from the government&amp;rsquo;s assessment&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The India State of Forest Report 2021 (ISFR 2021), released recently, has a huge hole in its estimations, according to a new analysis done by Down To Earth. The analysis, which appears as the cover story in the February 16 issue of the magazine, says India is &amp;ldquo;missing&amp;rdquo; almost 26 million hectares of its forests.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;DTE Editor Sunita Narain, who has done the analysis said:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;This is the difference between what is &amp;lsquo;recorded&amp;rsquo; as forest area, and the actual forest cover that exists on that recorded area. The recorded forest area, as per the ISFR 2021, is 77.53 million ha (hectare). But the forest cover on these lands is said to be 51.66 million ha. This means as much as 34 per cent of the area classified as forests &amp;mdash; 25.87 million ha &amp;mdash; is missing in the assessment! The India State of Forest Report 2021 does not explain what is happening to this huge tract of forest land &amp;mdash; equal in size to the state of Uttar Pradesh.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is &amp;lsquo;missing&amp;rsquo; from the government&amp;rsquo;s assessment. Madhya Pradesh, for instance, has &amp;lsquo;lost&amp;rsquo; nearly three million ha.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Narain added: &amp;ldquo;This is the real story of forest loss in our country &amp;mdash; and it should worry us enormously.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The story behind the &amp;ldquo;missing&amp;rdquo; forests&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;India can be said to have two kinds of forests &amp;mdash; those that are inside the officially recorded forest area, and those that are outside it. The 2013 forest survey report had estimated India&amp;rsquo;s total forest cover as 70 million ha &amp;mdash; but it did not distinguish if this forest was inside or outside the recorded forest area.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;From the 2015 State of Forest Report, the area inside the forest got reduced to 51 million ha and the rest &amp;mdash; 19-20 million ha &amp;mdash; was said to be forest cover outside recorded forest area.&lt;/p&gt;

India’s ‘missing’ forests: DTE analysis exposes big gap in latest national forest survey estimates

-Down to Earth According to a DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is ‘missing’ from the government’s assessment The India State of Forest Report 2021 (ISFR 2021), released recently, has a huge hole in its estimations, according to a new analysis done by Down To Earth. The analysis, which appears as the cover story in the February 16 issue of the magazine, says India is “missing” almost 26 million hectares of its forests. DTE Editor Sunita Narain, who has done the analysis said: "This is the difference between what is ‘recorded’ as forest area, and the actual forest cover that exists on that recorded area. The recorded forest area, as per the ISFR 2021, is 77.53 million ha (hectare). But the forest cover on these lands is said to be 51.66 million ha. This means as much as 34 per cent of the area classified as forests — 25.87 million ha — is missing in the assessment! The India State of Forest Report 2021 does not explain what is happening to this huge tract of forest land — equal in size to the state of Uttar Pradesh." According to the DTE analysis, there are states where over 30-50 per cent of the land classified as forests is ‘missing’ from the government’s assessment. Madhya Pradesh, for instance, has ‘lost’ nearly three million ha. Narain added: “This is the real story of forest loss in our country — and it should worry us enormously.” The story behind the “missing” forests India can be said to have two kinds of forests — those that are inside the officially recorded forest area, and those that are outside it. The 2013 forest survey report had estimated India’s total forest cover as 70 million ha — but it did not distinguish if this forest was inside or outside the recorded forest area. From the 2015 State of Forest Report, the area inside the forest got reduced to 51 million ha and the rest — 19-20 million ha — was said to be forest cover outside recorded forest area.
