For ecological balance, how much percent land area of any country require forest cover ?
Answer: C
For ecological balance a country needs 33% of its land under forest.
The National Forest Policies of 1952 and 1988 set the national goal of having one-third of the land area under forest or tree cover, and two-thirds in the hills, to maintain ecological balance and environmental stability.
12% and 20% are below this target, and 46% is above it.
India's actual forest and tree cover is about a quarter of its area, so the one-third goal remains a target of national policy, pursued through afforestation and agroforestry.
