WHAT IS NATURAL VEGETATION?
WHAT IS NATURAL VEGETATION?
Vegetation growing
naturally in a region due to
land formation, climate,
and other environmental
factors is called natural
vegetation. Forests are a
type of natural vegetation
but are studied differently
due to their organized
economic usefulness to
humans.

of Forests
Forests are a valuable gift
from nature, and ideally,
one-third of a country's
area should be under
forests. However, currently,
only about one-fourth of
India's total area is covered
by forests.

Ecological Importance: Forests are crucial for
maintaining soil, water, humidity levels, and
preventing floods and dust storms.
Economic Importance: They provide resources
like timber, grazing lands, and support local
economies.
Survival Dependence: Our survival depends on
forests as they are essential for clean air, water,
and biodiversity.
