Why has the National Forest Commission of India recommended a relatively larger forest cover for hills than for plains?

 

Answers (1)

It is an established fact that conservation efforts in the biodiversity-rich area always give better results. Hills have better biodiversity than plains because of less degree of human intervention. In addition, large forest cover for hills helps in reducing the chances of landslides and soil erosion. This is the reason the National Forest Commission of India has recommended a relatively larger forest cover for hills than for plains.
