Forest

The forest cover in the country is monitored at the interval of every two years by Forest Survey of India

Dehradun based on interpretation  of Satellite Imageries. Though the state is rich in forests, it has very

limited dense forests. As per National Forest Policy 1988, in the hills and in mountainous regions like

Mizoram, the aim should be to maintain two-third of the area under forest or tree cover in order to

prevent soil erosion and land degradation and to ensure the stability of the fragile eco-system.

As against this goal; at present notified forests (reserved/ protected forests) constitute about 38% of

 the geographical area and even most of these are open, degraded and subject to pressure of shifting

 cultivation, encroachments, fire, illicit felling etc.
