State to seek help from Forest Survey of India
The advocate general of the state Subodh Kantak has informed the high court of Bombay at Goa on Monday that the state government would seek help from the Forest Survey of India to complete the digital mapping of private forests in the State.
India is adding 300,000 hectares of forest every year even as the country along with China, Australia, Indonesia and Myanmar account for around 74 per cent of the world's forest cover, according to a UN report.
