March 21 was World Forestry Day. Befittingly, the Ministry of Environment & Forests laid down certain concrete objectives for the year, its theme being “Sustainable Forest Management”. The ministry has resolved to:

• Bring 33% of the landmass under forest or tree cover
• Forests to be managed holistically for their ecological, economic and socio-cultural roles
• Forests to play a key role in climate change amelioration

Kudos to the ministry. Hope they have worked out the strategies to achieve these objectives and are also able to put it into action!
