The
nation’s environment minister has announced that the government will
invest US$200 million in protecting its forests and will also report
the amount of carbon emissions stored by the forest. With 65 million
hectares or 20 percent of India's land covered by trees,the fund will
be used to conserve and restore vegetation, control forest fires and
strengthen forestry infrastructure.
Plans include extending to
another 6 million hectares over the next 6 years. Kudos India for your
planet-cooling investment to preserve the treasured lungs of Mother
Earth. May the lush green forests flourish across yours and many other
lands.
