1. ANDHRA PRADESH FORESTS AT A GLANCE

Andhra Pradesh is the fifth largest State in Geographical area and the third largest State in Forest area in the Indian Union. The total Forest area of the State is 63813.73 Square Kilometers which occupies 23.20% of the total Geographical area of 2,75,068 Sq.Kms. It is almost equal to the country's average percentage of forests.

The forests of the Andhra Pradesh State are distributed in different agro-climatic zones, with varying composition and forest types, majority of which is classified as (1) Tropical dry deciduous (2) Southern tropical Moist deciduous and (3) Southern tropical thorn forests. Most of the forest area was highly degraded owing to biotic pressure and over use of forest resources. Since last one decade most of the degraded areas have been reclubed with the implementation of Community forest management programme through more than 7100 Vana Samrakshana Samithis.

The statement showing the particulars of Geographical area, Forest area and percentages is furnished below:
