Madhya Pradesh has the largest forest cover in the country. The forests of the state are very important because of the abundance of bio-diversity and for being the catchment area of many important rivers. Therefore, the forests of the state contribute significantly to the environmental and ecological balance and water conservation in the country. This policy seeks management of forests through an appropriate statutory and institutionalized arrangement for protection, conservation and sustainable utilization of the forests harnessing ecological, economic, social and technical resources in such a manner that environmental protection, ecological balance, ground water conservation and fulfillment of needs of communities dependent on forests can be ensured.
