He said that Haryana was the first State where the areas falling in a
radius of five kms from all national parks and wildlife sanctuaries
had been declared as eco-sensitive to protect the wildlife. He urged
the people to plant more trees and said that 1,700 Gram Van Samities
have been constituted for maintenance of forests. While seven per cent
of the total area of the State was under afforestation as per the
Forests Survey of India, the State Forests’ Policy has set a target to
increase it by 10 per cent by 2010 and thereafter, upto 20 per cent as
per the National Forests Policy.
