India targets thousands of hectares of degraded land for restoration under its Green Credit Programme to boost ecology and meet environmental laws.
The Indian government has identified thousands of hectares of degraded forest land across states like Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh for restoration under the Green Credit Programme, launched to support environmental sustainability.
The initiative, managed by the Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education, awards Green Credits after five years of verified restoration achieving at least 40% canopy density using indigenous species.
Credits can fulfill compensatory afforestation requirements under the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam, 1980, and are verified to prevent double counting.
The programme aims to boost carbon sequestration, restore biodiversity, and enhance ecosystem services like timber, fodder, and water for local communities.
A dedicated portal supports application, monitoring, and verification.
