520			_aForests are considered as the 'green gold' for any country. These provide huge habitat for wildlife of the country. The areas with mountainous landscape and vast lush green forests add up to the natural beauty of India making it the richest reservoir of flora and fauna throughout the world. However, the natural and non-natural interventions often impact not only the forest capttal but its impending consequences as well. The phenomena of regional political movements, unplanned development, deployment of military and security establishments, rehabilitation of displaced, overexploitation of construction materials due to increasing population, increasing number of national and multinational companies are some of the factors which have caused huge footprints in the forest areas. The answer perhaps lies somewhere in legal wherewithal and its effective implementation. This paper is a humble attempt to evaluate the forest protection in India, challenges involved and the efficacy of legal measures involved for the protection of forests. – Reproduced
