Answer» It is our moral duty to protect, restore and conserve/preserve forest as they are highly beneficial for mankind in India, around `30%` of land was covered by forest in early 20th century, which has been reduced to `18-19%` by the year 2000. National Forest Commission of India (1988) recommended a relatively large forest cover `(67%)` for the hills and `33%` for the plains.
