Question

Identify the forest type based on the information given below.

These forests and wastelands are owned by both the government and private individuals or communities. A very high percentage of the forests in North-eastern states and parts of Gujarat come under this category.

• A. Reserved Forests
• B. Permanent Forests
• C. Classed Forests
• D. Unclassed Forests

Answer 1

The correct option is D Unclassed Forests

In Reserved Forests, the rights to all activities such as hunting, lumbering and grazing are banned. Both Reserved and Permanent Forests are taken care of by the government, whereas forests which can be owned by private organisations/individuals fully or partially are called Unclassed Forests.
