India Plans To Spend $6 Billion On Creating New Forests
In Nature by Anja, June 17, 2016

In the past century India has suffered massive deforestation, which has destroyed wildlife habitats, rendered land less fertile, and reduced a major carbon sink. Now, India is planning to spend 41,000 rupees ($6.2 billion) on an unprecedented afforestation program to increase the nation’s forest cover. Unlike the usual reforestation, where trees are cultivated on lands that were recently forests, India’s plan calls for afforestation – cultivating land that hasn’t had trees for a long period of time.

India’s Minister of Environment, Forests and Climate Change Prakash Javadekar said, “Our forest cover will dramatically increase and it will result in achieving our target 33 percent of tree cover and most importantly 2.5 billion tonne of carbon sink.” The Indian government aim to spend $6.2 billion on afforestation through a Compensatory Afforestation Fund Bill.

However, both scientists and government workers have expressed concern over India’s ability in the past to conserve forests. Earth scientist Sreedhar Ramamurthi said, “There is no clarity on how the government will develop these new forests. Are you going to throw people away from their land to develop new forests? If so, why did you allow forests to be depleted in the first case?”

Their goal is to increase forest cover on total land from 21.34 percent up to 33 percent

The money will come from fees paid by companies to utilize forested land since 2006. According to research from the Centre for Science and Environment, the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change has allowed 1.29 million hectares of forest to be used since 1980 “for non-forestry purposes.” The Indian parliament’s lower house, the House of the People, has already passed the measure. The bill’s approval is now up to the upper house, the Council of States.
