As per 2019 figures per Capital Forest and Tree cover in Jharkhand is _____.

  • A.0.08 ha
  • B.0.8 ha
  • C.0.48 ha
  • D.0.02 ha

Answer: A

The per capita forest and tree cover is about 0.08 ha.

Forest and tree cover in Jharkhand together come to roughly 26,000 sq km, which is about 2.6 million hectares. Spread over a population of about 33 million (Census 2011), that gives:

\[ \begin{aligned} &\frac{2.6 \times 10^{6}\ \text{ha}}{33 \times 10^{6}} \\ &\approx 0.08\ \text{ha} \end{aligned} \]

0.8 ha would need ten times as much forest, 0.48 ha six times as much, and 0.02 ha would mean only a quarter of the forest the state actually has.
