  • A.More than 10%
  • B.More than 20%
  • C.More than 30%
  • D.More than 40%

Answer: A

Forest cover means land of more than one hectare with tree canopy density of more than 10%.

The India State of Forest Report defines forest cover as all lands more than one hectare in area with a tree canopy density of more than 10 per cent, irrespective of ownership, legal status or land use. It is further divided into very dense (70% and above), moderately dense (40-70%) and open forest (10-40%).

20%, 30% and 40% are not the threshold; 40% is the lower limit of moderately dense forest, which is a likely source of confusion.
