Till now, the Forest Survey of India (FSI) was following a very expansive international definition for calculating forest cover: all lands, over a hectare in size, with tree canopies over at least 10 per cent of that area, irrespective of tree species and land ownership are counted as forest cover. It is a definition which incorporates coffee plantations, orchards and even urban parks - like Delhis Lodhi Gardens - into a countrys land under forests.
