    The total area of forest cover and tree plantation in Uttar Pradesh is 22,121sq. km., which works out to 9.18 of the total geographical area of two 2,40,928 sq. km. This stands much lower than the standard level of 33.33% in terms of the National Forest Policy, 1988. Uttar Pradesh is most populous State in the Country. The Forest Department in U.P. was set up way back in the year 1855. Keeping in view the increasing population in the State and constant demand for land for development purposes, it appears difficult to achieve the prescribed average 33.33%. Another reason is increasing demand for firewood, fodder, timber and forest produce for small and cottage industries.
