The forest and tree cover in the country is estimated at 79.42 million hectare, which is 24.16 per cent of the total geographical area (dense forest 12.2 per cent open forest 9.14 per cent; and mangrove0.14 per cent).

According to the State of Forest; Report (2015), the dense forest cover has increased by 3,775 sq km since 2013. However, this apparent increase in the forest cover is due to conservation measures management interventions and plantation, etc., by different agencies.
