Publish Date : 12/14/2004 11:48:00 AM   Source : Animals and Nature News Onlypunjab.com

There are 90 forest reserves  and  502
wild  life  sanctuaries  in the country,  Minster  of  State  for
Environment and Forests Namo Narayan Meena informed the Lok Sabha
today.
 
Meena  was  replying to a question from Krishna Tirath,  MP  from
Karol Bagh.
The  MP had requisitioned the minister for a state wise  list  of
forest  reserves and wild life sanctuaries. The minister  replied
he would procure the list later.
 
According  to  statistics available, forests in India are  of  16
major types, which in turn are  subdivided into 221 minor  types.
Structure, physiognomy and floristics are all used as  characters
to define these types.
 
The  main areas of tropical forest are found in the  Andaman  and
Nicobar Islands; the Western Ghats, which fringe the Arabian  Sea
coastline  of peninsular India; and the greater Assam  region  in
the  north-east.  Small  remnants of rain  forest  are  found  in
Orissa. (ANI)
