• Madhya Pradesh has one of the densest forest regions in the country and is the largest in terms of area being about 31% of the total land area.
• About 60% of the forests of Madhya Pradesh have been classified as Reserved Forests where there is restricted access for collecting firewood, grazing cattle etc. Even the forest area tagged as 'Protected Forests' has a good share being about 30%. Protected forests are meant for protection reasons. Visit this link to know more about Types of Forests
• Due to increased loss of forests in the recent years, shelter of Plantation has been taken by the Forest ministry which undergoing plantation of Timber, Fodder, Fuel wood etc.
• Teak, Sal and Bamboo cover much of the Forest land. Teak and Sal may be found in some specific places but Bamboo is widely spread in the region.
• Madhya Pradesh has an equally rich Wildlife. People from the farthest area never forget to visit the Spectacular Wildlife of MP. They visit through the Jungles as Safari, often on Elephant rides and take glimpses of animals present in rarity in India and the world. The area is not just for entertainment purpose but is also one of the biggest spots of wild life conservation practices. Not just the Faunal but also the floral species are well taken care of over here.
