The deserts and forests in India swathe almost one-fifth of the overall land and provide a large amount of firewood, timber, pulp in paper manufacturing, dying fabric, oils, resins, and many other necessary resources for businesses and industries.
Summary:
Deserts and forests maintain the environment cycle. They are responsible for cooling the air by which we can experience a steady rainfall. Let’s consider various deserts and forests in India.
Forests:
Some of the major and biggest forests in India include the western coast strip, chota Nagpur, Assam hills, the Himalayas, the western Ghats, the eastern Ghats, central India hills, the sunderbans, the shivalik hills, and the terai.
These forests play the crucial role in providing several necessary products such as teak, rubber, sal-wood, coconut, dhoop, bamboo, deodar, cinchona, pine wood etc. Since the products obtained from the forests are extremely valuable in the International market many trading and manufacturing industries depend on these forests. The forests in India have a great impact on rubber industries, paper industries, lac industries, sports goods manufacturing companies, raisin industries etc.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Forests in India are antique in the history of nature, affluent in diversity and cover a broad variety of pests, avifauna, insects and fauna. India has a distinctive uniqueness, not just because of its topography, olden times and civilization but also as of huge miscellany of its innate ecology.
The view of Indian forests varies from emerald muggy rainforests in the Western Ghats, Islands of Andaman and Nicobar, and states in the north and east, up to the desiccated high Himalaya in the north.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Involving two distinct boundaries, our country has rainforests that are semi-evergreen, deciduous cloudburst jungles, prickle forests, and humid pine forests.
Deserts:
Desert is often considered as the wasteland. But it is not true here in India. Our country has taken a positive approach towards the deserts. The majority of deserts in India get to see in the regions of Rajasthan.
The biggest and prevalent desert in India is located on the boundaries of south eastern Pakistan and western India. It is well-known by the name of The Thar Desert.
This desert is alienated into three main areas depending on its landform. These separated regions are called as the Hills region, Plains region and Sand Covered region. This desert is extended across the boundaries of Gujarat and Rajasthan. It covers a land area of almost 2,59,000 sq.km. It sprinkles huge hillocks, small lakes, salt marshes and gravel.
On the other hand, the adroit citizens of Rajasthan have altered this wasteland into a place which is prevalently identified as ‘the most vibrant desert on the earth”, turning this state to the top level.
There is a Luni river crossing from the sides of this desert. On its extreme edge, this river meets the Arabian Sea. The best way to walk around this desert is to select a Safari. Camel Safari and Jeep Safari are two modes of Safaris.
