To find the per capita forest area in India, we can follow these steps:
### Step 1: Understand the Total Forest Area
First, we need to know the total forest area in India. According to the information provided, the total area of forests and trees in India is approximately 8,20,088 square kilometers.
### Step 2: Convert Total Forest Area to Hectares
Since 1 square kilometer is equal to 100 hectares, we can convert the total forest area from square kilometers to hectares:
\[
\text{Total Forest Area in Hectares} = 8,20,088 \, \text{sq km} \times 100 \, \text{hectares/sq km}
\]
\[
= 82,008,800 \, \text{hectares}
\]
### Step 3: Find the Total Population of India
Next, we need to know the total population of India. For this calculation, let's assume the population is approximately 1.3 billion (1,300,000,000) people.
### Step 4: Calculate Per Capita Forest Area
Now, we can calculate the per capita forest area by dividing the total forest area by the total population:
\[
\text{Per Capita Forest Area} = \frac{\text{Total Forest Area in Hectares}}{\text{Total Population}}
\]
\[
= \frac{82,008,800 \, \text{hectares}}{1,300,000,000 \, \text{people}}
\]
\[
\approx 0.063 \, \text{hectares/person}
\]
### Step 5: Round the Result
Rounding 0.063 hectares gives us approximately 0.06 hectares per person.
### Conclusion
Thus, the per capita forest area in India is approximately **0.06 hectares**.
