As of 2019, which Indian state has the largest forest area?
Madhya Pradesh
The correct answer is Madhya Pradesh.
Total forest cover includes all lands with area more than one hectare and tree canopy density of 10 percent or more, irrespective of ownership and legal status. States like those in the North East often have a high percentage of geographical area under forest cover, even if their total forest area might be less than larger states like Madhya Pradesh. For example, Mizoram often has the highest percentage of forest cover. Monitoring changes in forest cover is vital for assessing the impact of conservation efforts and environmental policies.
