Forest area (% of land area) in India
● India was last measured at 23.07 in 2011, according to the World Bank.
● Forest area is land under natural or planted stands of trees of at least 5 meters in situ, whether productive or not, and excludes tree stands in agricultural production systems
● From1967 TO 2015
