The country's total forest and tree cover is 78.37 million hectares which is 23.84 per cent of geographical area, according to the India State of Forest Report 2009. India's net addition to its forest cover has broadly been 0.3 million hectares per year in the last 10 years. India's forests serve as a natural carbon sink that neutralise more than 11 per cent of India's greenhouse gas emissions. About 34 per cent of the country's forests fall in the tropical moist deciduous category, 30 per cent in the tropical dry deciduous, 11 per cent in Himalayan temperate, nine per cent in the tropical wet evergreen category, 6 per cent in subtropical pine and about 5 per cent in the tropical thorn category, says the report. The report has mapped India's forests into 16 forest type groups.
