<P> Since 1991, India has reversed the deforestation trend . Specialists of the United Nations report India's forest as well as woodland cover has increased . A 2010 study by the Food and Agriculture Organisation ranks India amongst the 10 countries with the largest forest area coverage in the world (the other nine being Russian Federation, Brazil, Canada, United States of America, China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Australia, Indonesia and Sudan). India is also one of the top 10 countries with the largest primary forest coverage in the world, according to this study . </P> <P> From 1990 to 2000, FAO finds India was the fifth largest gainer in forest coverage in the world; while from 2000 to 2010, FAO considers India as the third largest gainer in forest coverage . </P> <P> Some 500,000 square kilometres, about 17% of India's land area, were regarded as Forest Area in the early 1990s . In FY 1987, however, actual forest cover was 640,000 square kilometres . Some claim, that because more than 50% of this land was barren or bushland, the area under productive forest was actually less than 350,000 square kilometres, or approximately 10% of the country's land area . </P> <P> India's 0.6% average annual rate of deforestation for agricultural and non-lumbering land uses in the decade beginning in 1981 was one of the lowest in the world and on a par with Brazil . </P>
