The 2023 @ForestSurvey (FSI) registers a marginal increase in #India’s #forest cover by 156 km², a deceitful inflation that hides an inconvenient truth of colossal loss of natural #forests as an analysis by #PrakritiSrivastava@krithika_1193 & myself shows. Besides, the @ForestSurvey report #ISFR2023 has disregarded #SupremeCourt orders.

Brilliantly researched article by @sciencebwoy is a must read for those who want to understand why calls by the Global North to move towards plant-based diets are not just based on flawed data but also ignorance of food security in the Global South.
